Skimike's gonna rip you a new one.
In short, just a month or two ago (hell, perhaps even now) I would have recommended:
Video card: ONE VIDEO CARD
nVIDIA MAKE
8800GT MODEL
CPU: DUAL-CORE CPU
INTEL MAKE
CORE 2 DUO MODEL
...
And then everything else you need. But once again, things are changing so ignore everything I just typed and petition Al Gore for your time back. He might be able to refund it. Might.
