Alright, still waiting on a part or two but after I get everything in the next day or two it will be done, tell me what you think!

Video Card: BFG 6800 OC (Not the best ocer, does 360/760): $255

Case: AMS Full Tower Case (Very big but after messing with my cramped mid tower case I really yearn for more space) - $35

Motherboard: DFI NF3 LanParty (Decided to stay away from 939 for now and upgrade probably when NF4 arrives in the next month or two) - $108

RAM: 2x 512 Mushkin Basic PC3200 RAM 2.5-3-3: $126 (oced to 220 stable)

HSF: K8 Silentboost (Never really liked stock cooling): $15

Processor: Athlon 64 3000+ (Doing 2.45 GHZ on an Epox at 1.58 volts with stock cooling, I'm hoping to break the 2.5 GHZ barrier with the Silentboost and the DFI NF3): $160

HD: 2x Samsung SP1614C (2x 160GB) SATA HDs running in RAID 0 (Dunno if I'll ever use all of this space but oh well 🙂 ): $166

PSU: TT 420 watt Truepower: $29

Cooling: Slot fan + 4 80mm Speeze fans: $5

Floppy Drive: Free

NEC ND-3500A 16X Dual Layer DVD Burner: $68
16X DVD ROM drive: Free
52x32x52 CD RW: $29
52x CD ROM drive: Free

COST: $996, just under $1k.

Now all I need to do is get Doom 3 and Half Life 2 😀.
