Thanks for the help, told me everything I needed to know.
I'm gonna stick with the Phenom as it's a little bit cheaper, as is the 2x 3850s rather than an 8800GTS. Also, the 2x2G sticks only cost me $140, and leave room to upgrade to 8Gs if I want to latter on. I did consider both of those paths while picking the parts, but I have reason to go with what I plan.
Again, thanks to everyone.
you dont need 8gb and by the time you do, your pc will be obselete anyway. 4gb DDR2 with 4x1gb sticks is cheaper and faster and would be the maximum a normal person would get. ok so, with your $45 saved from that ram put that to the q6600 which will be faster then phenom. Ok ram and cpu done, and you spent the same ammount.
