If you had 800-900 dollars to make a system for christmas what would you put in it?
Also will the Ati chipsets for the 939 platform be out soon?

ATM, The Radeon Xpress 200 series 939 chipsets and XP-120 + AMD 64 3000+ along with either 1gb or 2gb of OCZ PC-4400 (or 4200)

cranking the FSB to 250+ (and outpacing a stock FX55 in some cases )

If i had a choice... i'd go with the X800XT


But ATM, i'm still waiting for availability of these parts... and by that time.. the X900 series will be out.......

The money limit is just a suggestion as most people dont have 2000 to spend on all their highend items. Im just curios as to how people would spend their money given a set amount and to some ideas on how to spend my money
