Help Selecting Parts for My Motherboard

Think about it in the long run. What will save you money then instead of now. I would suggest just buying a lower dual core processor just because it will last longer with future applications. Same goes for the video card and ram you choose. For ram, i would suggest patriot. It has good timing for a low price.

On Asus boards Kingston seems to run the best over Corsair while OCZ is one of the big names. The AMD 3800+ X2 is the low end of the dual cored cpus. For the higher end video card a toss between the ATI X1900 XT or an MSI 7900 GT?
