Asus k8t800 moutherboard(using the intergrated sound)
1. I hope you mean K8T800Pro motherboard otherwise you'll have fun fitting a Socket939 chip into a Socket754 board
2. Grab a nForce series board ... otherwise you'll just be holding your chip back. While the K8T800Pros do a very decent job of OCing especially considering they are Via chipsets they wont match the NF3/NF4s. Now if you dont intend on getting a OC setup then get the Athlon64-4000 and save your money because the only point of a FX is to OC like a crazy nut
As long as its not Sony, LG, Cicero, Pine, HP, Optirite etc then you're fine
I wanted to know if I did a good job making the best gamming system I could for a $3000 budget including computer and monitor
Is that including tax or shipping? Cuz you could do better for $3000 i think.
You video card is ok, how much memory on it?.
1. Okay? Its only one of the most powerful setups on the planet.
2. All 6800Us come with 256MB (so far cuz the 512s havnt hit the streets)
2 Raid drives will be fast
Yet numerous tests left right and centre will clearly indicate that there wont be an earth shattering improvement in general performance -- especially gaming performance. Its more for applications where you make use of a crapload of a data in sequence.
