    Motherboard=Asus A8N SLI Deluxe
    Graphics card=Asus 6800 Ultra (You HAVE to make sure it is PCI-Express)

    SLI basically means that you can make two graphics cards work in tandam to process the graphics. Now that is crazy

    tbh you still need to think of your other components to go with the processor - no point having a great processor if you have a shocking mother board and RAM

    Processor - AMD Athlon FX-55
    Motherboard - DFI LanParty SLi-DR nForce4 SLi
    RAM - 1GB Corsair XL PC3200

    if you live in the UK i recommend this site to buy stuff from - they really test everything and make bundles of components which work well with each other. this is a top quality site imo

    make sure you get a mother board that can support up to 4 gigs of ram, an AMD FX53 with 4 gigs of ram will roast a FX 55 with only 512mb under normal circumstances.

    ^^^I agree with you on that. I have an AMD Athlon 64 3200+. It will run a bit hotter, but not pure hot. It is much cooler and faster. :D
