Should be here in one week - by Friday, or Saturday the latest. Here it is...

AMD FX-53
MSI NF4 mobo
Lian Li V1000 case
1 GB ram
74 GB Raptor
160 GB SATA Hitachi HD
Asus X800XL video card
NEC 16X Dual Layer DVD burner
DVD-ROM

Just 6 days more. I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning. 😀

I'd agree that the CPU is overkill, but the X800XL is a good card, with performance about where the 6800GT stands at an MSRP (not sure how much he actually paid) of $300.
 
I agree, ts3433. Chosonman, the X800XL and the 6800GT are both good cards and are on equal footing performance-wise, but the X800XL is about $100 less than the 6800GT. I wanted a PCI-E card and, unlike the X800XT/PE, no external power is required for the X800XL.

Look at anands review and you will see the two cards are very close
