That is a pretty nice system

Is there ANY way I can go a little cheaper and still get comparable performance? Somewhere in the sub-$800 range? I want to stick with the current GPU and an AMD Processor. Any suggestions or deals???

Not really if you're sticking to AMD

But you probably don't need Vista unless you want to play DX10 games. A standard copy of XP will fly on that build, and you may even have one around already [but we can't help you or verify if it's licenced, nor do we suggest either getting an OS from Bittorrent or using WinXPGenuineCrack_No0n3.zip to make your copy of XP "valid"]

I think I am gonna stick with XP. I don't have any lying around, but my tech friends do. also, screw the whole AMD and ATI thing, I just want the beat performance
I do know that the RADEON 3850 is the best -$200 card but what about an Intel? How can I get a $150 Intel Processor that is as good or better than an AMD Athlon X2 6000+

New Plan, I'm gonna keep the processor and Mobo. (It's a GREAT MB) and instead ofe the RADEON, I'm gonna run two 8600s in SLI:

Newegg.com - XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT XXX 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

I agree with Ash, stay with XP. And for my hardware needs and cost comparisons i go to pricewatch.com or the manufacturer's website.

I have a recommendation... Go with Intel Core 2 Duo, not AMD. I used to love AMD, but they've really fallen behind recently. The core 2 duo outbenches most AMDs easily. You'll really be getting a lot more for your money that way. (AMD's days as the better underdog are gone, now they're just worse) Also, I prefer nVidia GPUs. That's just me though.
