ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Basically, I was going to rebuild when my last system died due to a power surge, and didn't get around to it due to financial issues. Now my wife is telling me if I want to build, I need to do it basically now, or never. I have been looking at the AM3's and ATI cards, but figured I would throw this out there just in case there are some decent ideas I haven't thought of yet. I am going to need a new operating system, so that is likely going to leave me with $400 or so to play with. Thanks!
