$875 to spend on CPU, Mobo, and Video card

[SocceRich20]

Hi, I recently sold the majority of my computer, and am looking to upgrade. I have about $1,000 to spend, and don't need RAM or a hard drive, as I have 1GB PC4000 HyperX and a 160GB SATA drive. I would like to stay with an Abit motherboard, but am open to other suggestions. I am also contemplating between an AMD 64 and a P4. I had a 2.8C and liked it a lot, but I hear the AMD 64 are faster. I think I'm going with the Silverstone Temjin TJ05-B, as I can get this for $125 shipped. So actually, I am looking to fill $875 worth of parts consisting of:

CPU
Motherboard
Video card

6800gt and a a64 3400+ with any mobo of your choice

 

[SneakyStuff]

CPU- A64 3500+
Mobo- Abit
Video- 6800 GT

Total = $1004

You could always save some moola by getting a 3200+ socket 754, and an nforce 3 250 mobo.

A64 3200+
DFI nFORCE 3 mobo (forgot its name)
And a 6800GT

That would be my choice, too.
