Well after getting a job finally :mad:

. I'm gonig to upgrade my computer
in about 1 month.

I already bought the motherboard a ASUS A8N32-SLI DELUXE.

The Video card I want to get is XFX 7900GT because the board (PCB) is black
just like the M/B

I'm will be using 2X512 GIG of Mushkin blue line 2,2,3,5 (CAS).

I got A new LiteOn DVD burner with lightscribe.

The case and HDDs I will still use.

I haven't decide on what CPU to get either a AMD 4000+ or a AMD X2 3800+ SKT 939.

O ya I work in PcClub so I get discounts on items :cool:

If the X2 fits your budget, go with it but either of them are good cpu's.

I'm running a 4400 myself with the 1MB L2 Cache, just built a new system and absolutely love it... system screams, also running 2GB RAM... Runs great with Half-Life 2, one of my favorite games.... Highly recommend the 4400.... I bought my processor & memory from .... some good prices on there... [/url]

Well I decide not to get the dual core just yet.
I got a better deal on the 4000+ SKT 939.
I will pay 200 dollors for a retail 4000+,plus I hear that the 4000+ is similar
to a FX-53 but alittle slower.

That sounds like a SWEET system. It'll be especially good when you get the other HDD for RAID 0. Its the same HDD as I've got :mrgreen:

and I'm very happy with my descision.
I want to ask you to reconsider SLI however. I can't think of any game out at the moment that you can't run on full everything with the 7900GT. I even know that SLI can reduce performance for some games. It could be a terrible waste of money.
Give it a while, and when games come out that are unplayable for you (I think you may have to wait until Crysis is out for that to happen), thats when you think about SLI. It might even be a better deal to just get a new GPU at the time.

Anyway, awesome system, and I bet it was a mint price. :yes:
