AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (only 200mhz behind the 4200, can be easily OCed to 2.2ghz):

^Needed for OCing the X800GTO2 (to keep it cool).

The nice thing about the x800GTO2, is that it has the exact same core processor as the x850XT\PE, so, it can be unlocked and OC'ed to the same specs (as the X850XT\PE).

Spike would be right if nonsense man knew how to OC in the first place. And yes case + psu's are usually crap, unless its antec (decent).

Well my P4 2.4 ghz PC with 1.25 gigs of ram and a GeForece 6200 can run Oblivion at nearly maxed settings and around 20 fps in the forrest at the be truthfull that PC there would leave mine in the dust.

I'm not a AMD guy so I don't know much about their chips but 4200+ is a big number so hopefully it's a good CPU

The ram is great and so is the video card, it has a 128 apature size so that should work fine and run fast.

One word of warning tho, the video card has only DVI inputs, so if you have a LCD monitor under 15" or most CRT monitors your are gonna need to pick up a DVI to VGA converter... I picked one up for around $10.
