Whats the best choice?
AMD AthlonX2 4400+ with one Geforce 7800GT
OR
AMD Athlon64 3500+ with two Geforce 7800GT (SLI)
and I have question 7800GTX SLI is very Stronger from 7800GT SLI for 200$?
and Athlon64 3500+ is bottleneck for 7800GT SLI or not?

id go with the x2 and single gt, as that much graphics power will do fine for now. you can always add another later. plus that proc wont need to be replaced for quite some time.

wait, on second thought, you might want to consider getting a x2 3800+ and overclocking it to 2.4ghz (or more, if you like). you can do this with stock cooling easily. then you might be able to get two gt's 🙂 i havent checked the prices, though, so that may not work out
 
I've never been impressed with any of my CPU upgrades, every graphics card I get blows me away though, I'd go for graphics over proc anyday.
 
I'd compromise. I'd get X2 3800+ and 2x7800GTs.

Also dual core vs. single core will do almost nothing in games. So unless you mutli-task, it's useless for now.

 
Neither.

X2 3800+ (or Opteron 165 if you can find one) + 7800GTX 256 MB or X1800XT
 
for gaming GPU is the limiting factor 95% of the time.

Beofre beeing able to answer the question you would need to answer this:
Which resolution will you be gaming at
What kind of AA + AF do you need
What else is important for your computer (heavy CPU calculations, like 3d rendering and media encoding)
 
3500+ and sli'd gt's. You can OC the 3500 to about 2.6ghz. Thats where I have mine. And if you game for sure go sli.
Any of the cpu's that were suggested plus the 3500+ are high end, fast, good cpu's and will do the job just fine. Its the gpu's that are most important.

*edit*

Or if you can, get an operton 165. Ive seen them in the hot deals forum going for $300.
I might be upgrading to one of these in the near future.

 
biostud and gi0rgi0 and jimbob200521 if if I buy X2 3800+ and OC it to 2.2GHz my system(graphic Card , Motherboard ,...) lifetime and CPU lifetime how much decrease?

if me Overclock 3500+ to 2.4GHz then how much is 3500+ Lifetime?

I want to web browsing and other home use and Play 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 4AA 16AF with All Game Option ON

Click to expand...

If you don't care about multitasking SLI will be better fo running games with 4xAA and 16xAF.

The lifetime decrease.... no one can tell, but most likely it will not be dead before it's horrible outdated. (As you can see I overclock my to 2.6Ghz)
