I will get an athlon 3800+.
For 4 reasons:
Because it's better than pentium
Because it's dualcore and I dont want to be upgrading every 6 months or so.
Because I play games but not alot so a 200$ video card is more than good for me :D
And finaly because you guys helped me alot since it would have taken me an eternity to look for the information i needed :D

:D thx alot for the help guys, all of you, i really appreciate it :D I will get the computer next thursday and I'll try to post a screenshot :)

well im gona go with athlon 3800+, geforce 6600gt. Any suggestions for a motherboard around the 150$ canadian or 125$ U.S.
Also, would that processor need extra cooling?

This is being so hard to choose a pc :P

Everytime I check prices and all, since dualcore is the new technology, makes logic to me that future games will need dualcore..

so i dont know if i should spen like 1300 instead of 1000 and get an athlon 3800+ so it will last me for long, what you guys think?

does athlon 3500+ beat Pentium D. 2.8ghz?
they r like the same price

oooo :D thx

:P
I dont even know what sli means :)

I found some sellers for some parts of my pc, are they good or not enough?

ATI RADEON x700 PRO 256MB Seller price: 100$ shop price: 200$

ASUS P5ND2-SLI Deluxe Seller price: 140$ Shop Price: 190$

:) ty for helping

but now i got another idea.

what if i buy a normal procesor, not a dualcore, that way i will be able to spend more on a video card.

Are dualcore procesors like twice faster than normal ones?

problem is Athlon x2 3800+ goes for 355$ and pentium D. 2.8ghz goes for 246$ :S

btw, the only game im planing to play is counter-strike.

Well, I have passed like 15 hours total reading and learning as much as i can about everything to build my new pc, but nothing is better than experience for that so thats why Id like to have real pr0s advices :P

I have 1000$ canadian.

The pc has to have:

dualcore amd or intel
graphic card 256 mb
win xp home <---- need real one for servicepack 2 :S
1gb DDR2 533 ram

I visited a shop and they gave me this option:

I have no Idea about AMD motherboards

www.superinfotech.com is the website of the shop, they have a huge pricelist for everything the main page is in french but the pricelist is in french and english. In main page, just click on Liste des prix.

Well basically this is what catches my attention, but I'm new around here so any suggestions, even if they dont fit with what I posted that the pc has to have, will be welcome :)

After reading forums, I realy dont know if i should get NVIDIA or ATI for graphic card, also intel or AMD.
I noticed that AMD has only 500FSB and PentiumD 2.8 has 800FSB, is it very different?

Also, with the budget I have, what pc would you buy for yourself?
