Well, my computer kinda sucks at the moment so I want to replace my mobo, video card, ram, and processor...
my current specs are as follows:

Mobo - Asus A8NE 939 motherboard
Video card - Nvidia GeForce 6800 XT 256mb
RAM - 1GB pc3200 dual channel
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3200+
HDD - 2 x Maxtor DiamondMax 80gb RAID 0
and the 500w power supply that came with the case


I was thinking about changing that to these parts (only one vid card at first tho)

instead of 2 3870's i would get 1 4850.

get the p45

and thats it, well new PSU would help if you ever wanted to CF the 4850's
