I'd suggest one of the new ATI Radeon HD 5700 series cards over the very dated 9800GT.

And might want to fill-up on RAM (4GB -> 8GB) if you're going 64-bit OS.

Oh, and an enterprise grade hard drive for extra performance, like a Western Digital RE3.

For added performance, RAID a few together.

yeah for now ATI has the best price per performance for Gpus out there and with the 5800 and 300 coming out the card prices should drop

I also paid about the same price ($975)before taxes (damn why does Newegg have to have a warehouse in TN) , so find that little overpriced and I would look at the P55 boards with an i5/ i7 if your on a budget but want some performance.

ANTEC 900 -Case
Core i7 920- cpu
MSI x58 platnuim SLI - Motherboard
3 gigs of OCZ - Triple channel Memory
Vigor Monsoon III -cpu cooler
ATI HD 4850 - gpu
corsair 750watt - psu
Segate 500gb - hard drive
LG 22x DvDRW- optical drive
Windows 7 RC 64bit -OS- free but only good till summer 2010
2 15" blue cold cathode tubes

I'm not sure what you technical skills are on building pc's even though it quite easy compared to the old jumper days. Do you plan on overclocking? What is your ideal budget that you are looking? You might look at this linkhttp://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-phenom-radeon,2427.html

I would go intel personally there processors tend to be alive longer and not burn up in a year or two

ive been using AMD for like 9 years and not once have I ever had a problem. intel is better, but saying that amd processors break after a year or 2 couldn't be any further from the truth.

yea i was gonna say that i dont think amd would be as popular as it is if thier processors break after two years.

anyways res, you could always go into prostitution to earn money for that comp. that stuff you listed looks pretty bad. as for my dream computer, well, laptop, i would do something illegal for an alienware m15x :wtg:
