Rebuild Advice

My computer finally took a crap, i think its just a power supply but its time to upgrade anyway. Id like to reuse some parts if possible. Lmk whats a keeper and whats not.
8800gts 320mb, I wanted to reuse this but i feel like it may limit me. Im only on a 19 inch screen thou. I also see the 8800gt is way better and like 100 bux. Maybe 2 of those sli.

I have gigabyte Ga-965-DS3, Not sure if upgrade is needed, when i bought it it was top of the line :-(.

Gskill 4gb Ddr800 5-5-5-15

e4300 which will be upgraded to q6600.

Need advice on a decent PS.

So basically i just need advice on, keep the 8800gts/ram/motherboard. I cant find more of the same gskill ram anymore to just double it.

Ive been out of the loop alittle while. Why dont more people do the 2x8800gts vs single card setup

Is the 8800gt the best proformance per doller deal. I dont mind spending the money for the Gtx/ or the 260, But If its not much better i dont see spending the extra 100 bux.

There's also the eVGA GTX 260, also $280 with free shipping, and it even includes a copy of Crysis. I think this is a better deal than the HD 4870. Just make sure it fits in your case.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Ya i dont see upgrading to the other mobo. Cause it doesnt seem like much of an upgrade. This card is pretty good overclocker as is. Ill keep the ram and stuff. the crysis deal seems good also. Sux a 300 doller video card is worthless 6 months later but i guess thats teh computer world.

Hey why not try the 9800GX2??? Thats a pretty good card still and newegg has one for 279 + Shipping. Here's the link.

I would think this would be the best bang for buck right now especially since the OP has to get a new PSU anyways. Plus it beats out the GTX 260 and 4870 in alot of test.

BTW you ever thought of going to a 22" monitor??? Right now they're cheap and with a higher end video card games look sweet on them.

Just my opinion.....

Well if you wanna play Crysis at 1680 x 1050 then you should look into a 9800GX2 or Radeon 4870. I think the 9800GX2 will have lower minimum framerates at that resolution than a 4870, but you may want to scour the net for reviews just to be sure. Your MB is fine. I think you may be better off with an E8400/8500 than a Q6600 since many games right now are really only optimized for two cores and will receive more benefit from a higher core speed. Not only that, the new Wolfdale CPUs overclock well. If you can afford it though look into a Q9400 or faster CPU.

people could argue that quad core is more future proof, but no one knows when we will actually see multi core usage.

At this point I think either chip is fine, judge what you need based upon the following:
Dual core: in general faster in games
Quad core: faster if doing graphic editing, encoding, etc

I see quad core only worth it if you do alot of those tasks, otherwise if you only do it only a handleful of times, that extra seconds doesn't really benefit you much in my opinion. Also note that for same price, e8400 (new chip) you could get the q6600 (old chip). Where as if you want the new 45nm for quad, you'll have to spill out more $.

Will my motherboard accept a 45nm processor. IT only says 65 on the website? also is the 8500 worth the extra 20 bux if im just gonna overclock anyway?
