Here's my system config for you Kyraath. Feel free to duplicate it :)
The following items were purchased from ewiz.com:
Processor
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+ (2.2GHz) Retail
(Make sure that if you get an A64 thats its the 90nm winchester core.)
Video Card
XFX PV-T45G-UD Geforce 6800GT 256MB TV-Out/2XDVI PCI Express Video Card
(Some of the people on the Anandtech forums said XFX isn't the best company. But, one of the Anandtech buyers guide articles recommended it. So, do whatever you want with that info. Obviously my card performs just fine. The forum guys recommended the BFG 6800GT that is pre-overclocked with a lifetime warranty. May be worth looking into.)
Hard Drive
Seagate ST3250823AS 250GB Serial ATA 7200rpm 8MB Hard Drive
Sound Card
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS 7.1 PCI Internal Sound Card
(I just got the bare card, its like 40 bucks cheaper than the boxed retail.)
Case
Antec Aluminum Mid-Tower P160
(If the P180 is out by the time you order you may want to look into that, I'm sure it will carry a price premium for a while though.)
Power Supply
Antec Neopower 480W ATX2.0 PCI-Express Power Supply
Additional Front 120mm Case Fan
Vantec SF12025L 12CM Quiet Case Fan
The following items were ordered from mwave.com:
Memory
CORSAIR VS1GBKIT400 2X64X64 PC3200 2X512MB CL2.5 DDR DIMM
Motherboard
ASUS A8N-SLI DELUXE nVIDIA nFORCE4 SLI CHIPSET
Ewiz doesn't sell Corsair RAM so I had to order that from mwave. Also, the motherboard was cheaper at mwave at the time. So, that's the basics. Questions, let me know.
