Are you going to stick with one card or plan to add another in the future?
Also you plan on doing any OC'ing?

One card and no overclocking. I am not getting fancy, I just want to play fallout 3 without it being on bare minimum with no framerate.

Fallout 3 is supposedly a step up from Oblivion, so I hope that helps define what I am after.

Jinx is definitely leading you down the right path! So, what does he need next...

HAS: Mobo $140
processor (Intel E6600 dual core duo)
vid card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130339)$160
monitorhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16824009138)$179.99...

So, 140 + 160 + 180 = $480

Needs:
PSU & Case(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811147001)$70
HD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822144122$40
heatsink http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186134 $30
DVD-R http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827135164 $30

So, 70 + 40 + 30 + 30 = $170

Total = $650 + tax and title...

Need:
OS -- ....
Someone to build your system.... "Priceless"

I would do it for you; however, I know someone that could do a better job than me and is cheaper... Holla at bigdog...

FYI: If he is too busy (his choice), then I will help you out...

I can put it together, its just been a year and a half since I built one and I haven't kept up with the new parts that are out, thus why I was asking for help. Surely it hasn't changed that much as far as connecting everything and getting the bios/OS/etc up and running.

I already have vista home premium that comes with the 64 bit OS, so I am going to use that for those that were linking OS in their lists.

Well I have to say in the past year or so bios has got a lot easier, the board I just put in an Asus P5N-T deluxe pretty much looked after everything including flashing the bios upgrade. And Vista when I installed, while looking cruder than xp again pretty much looked after itself. My job seemed to be to stick the pieces together and then put the correct disks in at the right time. Of course there was some tweeking afterward but that was optional.
