That's what i atleast want, but depending on the price i'm gonna go for a diffirent GPU from the nVidea GeForce 7 series. Altho i should ba able to get it, as i have €1700 for it (and €350 extra for my monitor but i can always cut a bit if i need some more for the rest).

Basicly what i want to do is get a gaming pc, possible to run vista later (these specs kinda asure that ). But i'm gonna put atleast one linux distro on it too.

Anyone got some tips on parts i should get combined with these (or instead), keep in mind that i hate Intel and dislike ATI

Geta a SATA 2 compatible Hard Drive rather than just SATA, it has a faster transfer speed.

Also, save up for the X2 4800+.

Well, i'm gonna see what i can get for my money, i need to know how much the price for it will be and maybe change some parts once i know it.

Get a Intel Core Duo processor, they are kinda expensive but they are the best desktop processors you can buy now...

The E6600 'Conroe' is about €130 more than that AMD X2 4200+ and about the same price as a AMD X2 4800+

About the gpu I like ATi better, but that's just my opinion

Heh, thats where my opinion changes. Any pc i would build would use an Nvidia GPU, but thats just me. I've heard ATI cards are better when you want to use tv out options.

Whaaaaaaaa?  How much is that?

€1811 (€1961 with XP Pro) if i counted right, so i might get a second 19" LCD (hell, maybe a widescreen 20"), or another pair of HD's, or a second DVD-RW. Altho a new cellphone could be usefull

maybe you could save moneyz by using parts from the computer you have now, thats what i do and i have saved about £200 and im gonna buy 2 lcd's when i get enough
