Help me build a new power computer system with the best motherboard, CPU and memory.
Here's what I do with my computer, my work (who cares about that), but my main interests are for when I'm off of work. I like playing Painkiller, Medal of Honor, Flight Simulator and any other 3D intensive games out there.
Parts I already have:
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP
AMD Athlon 2200
Corsair 512 memory
ATI 9800PRO (keeping)
SBI SoundBlaster Audigy2 (keeping)
I mainly want to upgrade my CPU and memory to match it with the best motherboard for it.
I want this thing to rock for at least the next 2 years.
Maybe my motherboard is already good eh? Who knows. Give me some suggestions friends.

I'd go with a AMD 64 3200+ Socket 939
I would sell the 9800 pro and go PCI express
an X700 would be great
Get an ABit AX8 board and some good PC3200 memory

I'd recommend the 6600GT PCI-e over the X700... The 6600GT simply outperforms the X700 128 and 256 versions over any benchmark... But the 6600GT might be a little bit more expensive... atleast 30 more than the X700.
But if you want a high performance card, either get the X850XT PE, or just wait for the newer RV520 chips coming out later this year from ATI.
Get atleast a 1 gig of PC3200 memory.. DDR2 RAM is just too expensive...
Also, I'd recommend WD RAPTOR drives... they run at 10k rpm over the regular 7200rpm.
if you want a sound system, I'd recommend the Logitech Z-5300e. They're cheaper now, and are awesome speakers.
