Ok, I know you vets from this forum have been asked this a million times, but I need help picking out parts for a new computer. This will be primarily used to play some of the newer games and my budget is around $1500. From reading these forums and doing a little reasearch, I'v compiled a list of some parts.
Processor: $267

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 1GHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939
Mobo:
This is where I am a bit stuck. Would you all recomend the fatality board or that neo with the sli? BTW, I am not completely sold on the whole sli fad.
Ram: $189

1 GB DDR PC4000
Vid Card: $359

MSI NX6800GT-TD256 Geforce 6800GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP Pro 4X/8X
The rest I can figure out myself, those pieces really arent all that crucial to the system performance. I welcome any and all coments, please express your opinions about my part decisions.
