Ok... im on a quest for the ultimate gaming comp, and to be honest, i cant do it alone. What i need, is opinions on what i should put in it following some basic guidelines... they are as follows:

Processor must me Athlon64
Mobo must have AGP 8x
Must Hold at least 2 gigs of ram (prefferably more)
Video card must be from the new ati series
Video capture card a must
HDD must = 500 gig + (can be more than 1)
Sound card is already purchased
Case already purchased
anything else have fun with... oh and btw... money is no object
