I'll also use it for some graphics programs like Adobe Creative Suite 2.
I live in British Columbia, so there is no Newegg or amazing deals here. I'll select components from Atic or NCIX and have them build it.
I'm looking for the best value in that range and it doesn't include a monitor. Are there network cards that allow you to have both wireless and wired high speed Internet access (I likely start with the former then go to the latter when I move).
The starting point is probably a Geforce 7900GT or Radeon X1900XT. I was looking at an AMD64x2 3800 but something called Conroe seems to be popular.
Are video cards and surround sound a big deal in PC gaming right now?
Help would be appreciated. Particularly with the CPU/Motherboard and type of RAM (I suspect I'll get 2 gigs).
Thanks!
