processor:

total $727.33 minus shipping and video card.


some changes i was considering was the mobo. are there better ones with similar features at lower prices? sorry im new at this.

the processor...is it better getting a 4200 or stay with the 4600.
i keep hearing how am2 is the way to go and thats what i would like to go with unless im hearing wrong.

oh and as far as video cards i have an ati hdtv card and ati 9200se but was thinking of getting a video card later unless there is a good one out there that is not too pricey ($130 max). and maybe with sli? thanks guys

I'm going to go one step further and say get a 3800, then put the money towards something else. Here are my suggested changes:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+

Motherboard: Asus M2N-E <--- There is no reason to go SLI, unless you're going to be gaming at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or higher, or unless you want to use more than 2 monitors.

RAM: When buying ram, ALWAYS get 2 sticks for dual channel, better yet get a matched set for the best results in terms of stability..... this Corsair XMS2 set should do just fine.
