if money is NO object..

CPU

Mobo, assuming your going PCI-E for video


http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-128-254&depa=1

Mobo assuming AGP



Now, youll get people ranting about ASUS and other companys.. Im just loyal to Gigabyte and DFI for AMD machines..

Now, if your "wanting" intel, theres other options..

or if theres more of a "budget" per say.. it can be scaled..
