I looking to an amd comp I hope to use it for gaming somewhat but I am really just interested in building one. I am looking to find out what combos have worked for other uses?

Well I reccomend a 3700, a8n32-sli, a 7800GTX or a 1900xtx pending budget * a 7800GT or GS will suffice just fine!* Some good ram, Some g skill maybe? And a a nice psu, I love fortrons, Solid as a tank. Get a good fortron 600 watt, It's awesome and a nice xp120 or thermaltake big typhoon. That's basically your whole comp, Oh and a audigy as a soundcard. That's a killer set up, And It'll o/c like mad! 3 Ghz in some cases

The reason that I chose this spot is that I need to start with a mother board and from there I have a few in mind either dfi or asus or the 2 mayjor ones im looking at. i also am thinking about a dual core proc but would like some guidance. but any info on these bords at least what have you found works well with these what downs sides have you found ect

I'm loving my board! a8n-sli deluxe! It's awesome, So many sata ports, So many usb ports, It's got everythig you want and more. However it's a bit old and it'snewer counterpart; The a8n32-sli is awesome. Just get a delux or premium depending on how much money you have. A 7800GT is an awesome card, even better is the GTX. I'd look into an opteron if you want dual core that has high overclock potential and a fairly cheap price!

Price Range?

I would go for DFI sli/ultra mobo and 3200+, then a 7800gt + 2gb ram. If you need loosening, replace 7800gt with 6800gs (though big drop in performance) or x850xt (you won't have sm3.0, hdr though), and/or drop 1gb ram.
