Ive finally decide to get a:

2500+ XP 333 barton-$86 from tigerdirect.
Chaintech 5700 ultra 128MB card, 475Mhz core & 900Mhz memory, (one hell of a fast SOB)-$200 from tigerdirect.
Gigabyte NForce2 Ultra 400 board-$80 from tigerdirect.

altogether= $366, Now that is some savings (of course shipping is not included)

I am currently having one of those new Coolermaster Jet 7 Fan\Heatsink combos being ordered for me, for $40.

As for memory I have to find out where I can get 1024MB PC2700 Dual channel memory (2x512MB) for real cheap, like less than $150, preferably Crucial or Corsair.

After this system is put together, I'm gonna have one hell of a system, won't have any prob playing games like BF1942 or UT2003\2004 or even DOOM 3 if that ever comes out!!!

Hey thanks for the link, I just found out that the computer renaissance store near me has a eVGA brand version of the FX5700 Ultra that is pretty much the same as the Chaintech, for the same price as the one on tigers site, but at least if something goes wrong with it I can bring it back to that store in person & there's a 1 Year free parts & labor warranty on it. Still unsure if I should buy that one or the other 2 online? Is there really a big difference between the CHaintech one & eVGA one?
