Thanks very much gentlemen, and ladies if they come across this thread. I'm going to use this for gaming and I already have a GeForce FX 5900 XT. So that will save me some cash. However I'll use this to download a few songs from time to time.. play battlefield vietnam, call of duty, and chat with my friends.

Not sure wether to go intel or AMD. I like Intel more but I've been told it's more of a personal preference.
