oh and any suggestions on memory sticks?

I personally think newegg.com is the best place to buy computer parts. Everytime I've bought something from there I've had no problems. I'm not too great with video cards so I cant help you there. As far as memory goes, I would go with Corsair (although it can be more expensive). Another good site to look at is pricewatch.com. I never buy anything from there just because I question the reliability of some of the sites...but its a good place to compare prices.

I'd recommend a x1800XT. You can find one for less than $260 (not the 512mb edition). That one is $270 after $30 rebate.
