Thinking of buying a new pc and a few questions i have.

AMD64 FX-55 SD or the new dual core? pricewise im leaning towards the fx. But i dont wanna shell out 800$ for a chip and 1 year from now dula cores will run the show and all single procs will be obsolete.

Any case recomendations? Id like to paint my own but need a good foundation to start with. Need a nice removeable mobo tray and something with nice airflow. No need for fancy windows etc etc.

So far this is what im looking at :

AMD 64 fx-55 SD
Asus a8n - SLI deluxe
2 gig ram
2 x GeForce 7800 GTX 256
and a nice 22" moniter CRT ftw.

any suggestions/advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance 8)

dont bother getting 2 gigs of ram....at least thats what everyone is saying these days.

AT the moment, dualk core XP systems are the shit.++++
Of course you need games made for that to get any boost but itis still going to be cool.

Right, a dual core system will not boost performance of current games. Get the most powerful single core processor you can afford.

I like ASUS motherboards, and have them in all my 'puters here.

SLI is nice, but for my money a single, top line PCI Express card is fine.

I like the 2G of RAM, it might not run your games any faster, but it will make your OS smile.

Since being unemployed, I've been out of the PC loop. Who makes the dual core, Intel?

My plan was to get 1 video card now but have the option later on to purchase another. 1200$ just on video cards is a tad much atm.
