For now its gonna be the Albatron Medussa GeForce 4 128meg that I am running now. Later on after builing the money back up i'm lookin at either a 6800 GT or the 6800 ultra and i'm even considering an ATI 9800 Smile

Oh yeah and later on some Raid drives too lol

What he said. I looooove mine Mr. Green

the 6800GT will definatly outperform the 9800.

That processor is ok. What are you planning on doing with this system? Just gaming, or lots of other stuff too?

And second, about the RAM... if you're gettin DDR2 RAM (XMS2), why are you only getting PC3200? Go for the PC5400. Do they even make DDR2 at PC3200? www.newegg.com/Product...6820145539

Ok got the system all setup and rockin it has a very nice overclocker for the CPU an the Ram I tell it how much and it changes all the voltages and such for me. But I figure I will leave it stock for now, no sense in burning it up the first week lol

And what a bargain I got --- 2 - 1gig sticks and only got charged for 1
