My P3 800 here is getting dated and since I spend most of my time playing games I think it's time for me to get a new system. Below are some parts I picked out from Newegg and the total came out to $1550 which is very pricey. I'm wondering how I can lower the cost while still getting a good system that will last me a while. I'm open to all suggestions and I'm not opposed to going a P4 route or overclocking as long as the overclocking is relatively simple. I'd also like recommendations on good heatsinks.
