Well my B-Day is coming up in a month or so and I am looking to ask my parents to help me start my build.

What I need is something that will OC alot on a budget... I would like to keep my 6800gt AGP.. or I could try to sell it on ebay. Not sure as to what I am going to do about that...

I want to get either an opty 146 or maybe a 3200+ Venice.

Mobo.... Definetly DFI if I sell my gfx card but if not I guess I would be stuck with an ASROCK DUAL board.. hmmmmm

What should I do..

Please name a CPU/MOBO/RAM combo around 400 total would be nice.. My parents are putting my sister through college right now so money is tight.

Thanks in advance!

Generally people dont look much in this area.
Its mostly for people actually building a comp and not thinkin about it.
Im sure youd get more responses if you moved it.l

pricewatch.com searches for the lowest price for the item u choose to search for... its great in my opinion. try it out i think u will like it

Beat me to it, Ghost

Hmm, I'm guessing you could get a Venice 3000+ and a decent motherboard for around $400, but that kind of jips you on the RAM :S

Time to look for used parts, eh? haha

Here is a cheap combo off of Fry's outpost...

If you can survive with matx, only one PCIe, and 2 dimms, but it comes
witha 3700 SD and is only $249.99 plus s&h (was only like 8 bucks)
Sell the agp card, buy this and a pcie 7800gt is my suggestion...
