what i have now that will carry over:

x800xt pe (agp)
audigy 2 zs

what i'm thinking of getting:

MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130468)

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ ClawHammer (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103514)


CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB dual channel (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145440)

~550-600, depending on how much shipping is. any comments would be appreciated. with this setup, do you think i'd have any problems running modern games (f.e.a.r., bf2, etc.) at high-highest settings?

thanks!
