Alright,please excuse my "newbiness" but im looking to build a gaming machine... i have really no budget at all. its about 4000 cad. So i figure that i can get a pretty awesome machine at this price. I don't need a monitor, or speakers as i have efficient parts already. but enough babble, this is what i have in mind.

AMD athlon64 3800+ 939 pin 512K
MSI K8N PLATINUM 2939, NFORCE 250U 5PCI AGP8X
SEAGATE 40GB+ SEAGATE 120GB
KINGSTON 1024 RAM KIT 4 X 512 MB
EVGA 6800GT 256MB
LITEON DVD+/- 16X8X
SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY 2ZS PRO EXT


what i was wondering is, would it be worth it to go up to the ultra, and also would it be worth it to go up to the fx-55. the price i got on this is around 3500 cad, so i have a lil room to upgrade somethings. also its not just going to be a gaming system, although that is the intent, i will also need it for video editing and picture editing. So any comments would be great thanks.

If you have the money go for the fx55 but i suggest on waiting for nforce 4 on the mobo.
