New PC Build

I am looking at building a new PC.

Anyone got any comments? What would be the best graphics card to get?

Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3500LL Pro TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2
Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe AMD Athlon 64 Socket 939 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4800 2.4Ghz Socket 939
Seasonic S12 600W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply
Gigabyte GH-PDU21-MF G-POWER PRO Universal Cooler
2 x Samsung SpinPoint 250GB SATA II Hard Drive SP2504C OEM
Antec P180 Advanced Super Mid Tower

Cheers

What is your budget for your graphics card?

I don't know if I could go with Samsung drives. I would go with Seagate, they have 5-year warranties.

Since you have an SLI motherboard, are you planning on getting two SLI cards? Without a budget, it's hard to suggest something. If you want "the best", based on price, you could get two 7800GTX SLI cards for $600 each, but that's probably not what you are going for, is it?

You could look at those 7800GTX 512's that are $750, but you really only need one now.
