|  Buidling a new PC all rite, guys, im thinking of building a new PC, i have most of the parts down, just need ur opinion on the system, any suggestions welcome Here it is: MGE XG Titanium Black ATX Case $122.00 Enermax Noisetaker 600W PSU $158.00 Asus A8N-SLI Premium Motherboard $174.99 AMD X2 4800+ Processor $886.00 Thermaltake Tower 112 Copper Heatsink $50.99 Mushkin 2GB PC3200 High Performance Memory $264.99 Maxtor DiamondMax 10 300GB S-ATA Hard Drive $139.99 BenQ Black DW1640 16X Dual Layer DVD±RW $47.75 Sony 1.44 Floppy Disk Drive $15.99 Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS $83.99 XFX GeForce 7800GTX 256MB DDR3 Video Card $499.99 Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition $89.99 Samsung 204T Syncmaster 20 LCD $579.99 Logitech Cordless Desktop MX3100 $85.00 Klipsch Promedia 2.1 Speakers $139.99 It comes out to about $3300 (free shipping from zipzoomfly), thats basically the highest i can go. not sure if should go with the 4800+ or the 4400+ (i want to stick with the X2 line for the future), i will add another GTX down the road for SLI, and should i get the DFI mobo instead and how big is the difference between 1600*1200 vs 1280*1024, cuz i was thinking of maybe going for the VX924 instead of the 20 inch i plan on using this for gaming as well as content creation, im gonna OC a little bit but not too much (maybe around a 300Mhz jump) and some minor RAM OCing |

| -I wish I could go 1600x1200, so if you can great. -You probably want a DFi Lanparty Ultra instead -You should get Xp Pro insted of Home -You should add another hardrive to that setup. For backups or for splitting storage/system. -Im not sure about dual cores vs single cores for gaming puposes.... -Hows that heatsink vs a zalman 7700??

 | sure get a dfi. alright u might want this monitor for hard core gaming http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824116355 thats a sick monitor 4ms response thats nasty That ram is nicey nicey so stick wid it. caught caught pirate a windows xp procaught caught wait till longhorn to buy it it wont be long maybe a year or 2. or wait till 64 bit is popular. with all that savings u can get water cooling.like 150 on monitor no windows xp 90$ theres about 240$ for a nice water cooled beastly machine go for it.
