Don't go with the 6800XT, the 7600GS/GT would be a much better choice.
And have you thought about going with a Core 2 Duo?

Yep Yep, i totally agree with maroon1, there is a great improvement from a X2 3800+ to a E6300. Easily stated in Tom's Hardware. Ill get you the link later.
The performance of E6300 beats X2 4200+!!!! |
