I've decided to upgrade, tech-savvy folks tell me what you think.

  • ASUS "A8N-SLI Deluxe" nForce4 SLI Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939 CPU
  • AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 512K, L2 Cache, Socket 939 Windows Compatible 64-bit Processor
  • PowerColor ATI Radeon X850 Pro 256MB GDDR3, 256-Bit, PCI-Express, VIVO
  • Thermalright Heatsink for P4 & K8 CPUs, Heatsink Only, Model "XP-120"
Or czech out my "wishlist" here at newegg.

I already have an Antec NeoPower PSU, and a gig of ram from my old computer.

I love the board and the CPU. I have always owned ASUS mobo's and am very happy with them.

There are better cheaper vid cards out there. I find ATI vid cards over priced for what you get. I'd go for the ASUS 6800GT 256mb card. It's faster and cheaper. My 2 cents......

No need for 512 with the GT boards. GT boards run faster than a regular board. Plus they are damn expensive.

256mb is more than enough.

I wouldn't suggest an X850Pro. I would suggest a 6800gt, x800xt, or x850XT. You have an SLI motherboard so why not geta  6800gt and over time get another one? I think an old X800XT is also more powerful than the 12 pipeline x850, not sure though. Otherwise, nice setup.
