    multitasking pc

    i will be using this pc to multitask, therefore i think i need a dual core processor. maybe opteron 165? the video card could be somewhere around 6600GT? for harddisk, i don't think i need more than 160GB. what about ram? and case and powersupply and all the good stuff? thanks for reading.
