well im bored so i want to get some opinions from you guys...
Well last month i decided one day when i got pissed off b/c my mom wanted to use our family computer( its a decent machine... P4 540 @3.4ghz 1gig ddr400 w/ a x700 pro... It was a gateway though
) i liked it but i didnt like sharing.
So i decided to build a comp. Then a week later i pick up this comp im using right now for only 40$ to hold me over.But anyways at first i just wanted a Amd setup now i dont konw for sure... B/c i recently bought a Pentium D 820 for 146$ on ebay( it was a steal).I wanted to get a Nvidia card but ive never had one b4... do now i think im going to get a Crossfire readyboard and upgrade later...
Well here is my build ....
Start out with the CPU: Pentium D 820 160$ with shipping
Motherboard (looks good for the price... if i want to later on i can crossfire):

Video card Ati X850 xt:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102483
Ram going with
DDR2:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231017
CPU FAN havent decided yet thinking of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835106061
Hard drive 160gig maxtor:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822144182
2 cases in mind... First is this one

second

only problem is i dont think the powersupplies that come with these cases can handle Cross fire or SLI from my understanding(if otherwise please tell me)
Any suggestings on a Good But cheap Powersupplie that can handle CrossFIre or SLI
561.75 is my cart at newegg +160 i paid for my CPU already
i still dont know if i should get the intel setup...No games need the Dual cores or the DDR2 memory yet anyways. but i think i if build this computer it will be able to play the games of tom.
