Hey guys,
Even after everyone told me GO WITH INTEL! I went with AMD for a couple reasons. Well only reason really, I got the AMD Athlon X2-6400 (3.2ghz) for $143! So here what I'm trying to do right now...

Here are the details
AMD Athlon X2 6400 Black Edition =$143
2gb of DDR2 Ram = $54
500gb = $84
AM2 GeForce6100 Motherboard = $26.50 (I love ebay)
What I still Need
A graphics card
LCD (12.1, 13.3, 10.6)
Anyone know what kind of graphics card I should be looking at? I was thinking the 8500GT, or the 7600GS is really cheap now. If you want links to those products above let me know I still can't believe how cheap that X2 6400 was! Let me know what you guys all think!

I got my 7900gs for about 100 dollars, which is an amazing card. It easily handles any hi-def content I have. It also can play pretty much any game at more resolutions, if you're into gaming.
