What components would you need to build a compareable AMD system to his? Total Price?

Basically couldn't you do this for cheaper?

Is a P4 better for gaming then AMD? (Yes or No Answer Only) I am not trying to start a flame war.

www.tomshardware.com has good reviews on nforce-based mobos.

ahah i edited that post with the video card comment about 30 seconds after the post. anyway, its not a whole system its just ram, mobo/cpu/ and vid card. you know, the stuff that matters for FPS.

right now im running on a 3 year old 1.3 t-bird, 256 megs ram, and a7a266 mobo, which isnt bad (for cs) this upgrade will last me another 3 years and this will also be my doom3/world of warcraft upgrade ;p

Then perhaps wait until those games are available before upgrade?!?

well the main reason for the upgrade are those games but it wouldnt hurt to buy the 9800 now so i can actually play daoc and DoD. DoD has crazy r_speeds and daoc has those large scale battles where my vanilla gf3 whines like a little whore being arrested for prositution.

edit: id wait for the R400 but its going to be released too late. i have no patience.

edit2: im also going to be re-evaluating the ram and mobo since there seems to be cheaper alternitives that perform the same.
