Hi! I am currently planning to build a computer around Christmas time, and am wondering if you can:
#1 Revise my current build.
#2 Make the price sub 800 and sub 700 (OS included...)
#3 Take into consideration that I plan to OC the cpu to around 3.2 ghz
#4 Choose a proper mobo/psu, since i have no experience with them.
#5 Give a few steps and tips when building.
#6 Anything else you can help me with...

Also, I plan to use the computer for "casual gaming" at around 1080p resolution, and am wondering what is my best option as a graphics card... I still cannot decide between the HD4850 (i think...) or the 9800gtx... or 9800gt... and the amount of memory... Can you please give some advice?
Also, I am looking for at least some amount of expandability, taking I wish to keep up with technology for at least 3 years (ex. playing games with a playable fps...)
What is your take on the OS? Should I go XP prof 64 bit or take on vista x64?
Other than the mobo, psu, and graphics card, I just want an estimate, taking newegg always has sales that I can probably shed off 100 dollars or so off the budget...
Anyways, If you can answer all these questions, Thank you very much...
Unless I am misunderstanding you, the 64 bit is for the RAM, not the cpu! The cpu will run 32 bit w/o a problem just that 32bit only supports 3.2 gbs of ram, which totally limits it's expandability... Also, windows is going directly into 64 bit now, and that is pretty much where i'm headed... Also... that IS a dual core processor! 2.53 ghz 45nm which I am going to overclock...
