Yes yes, I know that THIS PARTICULAR FORUM is for hardware, but I must put my two cents in and say that as long as you have an acceptable Video Card, RAM and processor, that the power of your computer lies in the software it has.
My computer can do almost anything from editing images, creating logos, cracking passwords, killing viruses and trojans (even ones not invented yet!) to almost anything you can think of (that is reasonable and appropriate for a computer to be able to do).
Yes, the hardware is great, but the software is where it's at boys. As we've all heard, it's not necessarily the size of your tool, it's how well you can use it, and believe me guys, I can use my tool (my computer, you perverts!) in all kinds of ways and for many different functions.

BEEFY COMPUTERS ARE BEST, and besides this Topic is on the Ultimate System not the Ultimate Software setup.
COM-PUT-OR:
MSI K8T NEO FISR-2
AMD Athlon 64bit 3000+ 2.0GHZ
1GB RAM
ATI RADEON 9600XT
SONY 16x DVD+/RW
120GB HD
WINDOWS XP SP2

Re: MOBO AND CPU
Uhh... neo2 platinum for one. and the 3400 is the equivalent of an FX-51, with a locked multy, so I would say 1mbL2 running at 2.4ghz would be faster than the same core running at 2.2ghz.ThManDan22 wrote:I would use http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDe ... 463&depa=0

Err, hello. I'm new to this forum....
Anyway, I would change it to this:
whatever case suits you
Tagan 480 or PC Power & Cooling power supply
whatever socket 939 PCI-Express SLI motherboard is the best as of a month from now
Athlon64 FX-55
Thermalright XP-90 or XP-120 (whichever fits) with whatever fan is the most powerful but quiet enough for you to stand, possibly a Vantec Tornado with the speed controlled
2 x 512 MB Crucial Ballistix PC-3200 or PC-4000 RAM or OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 or G. Skill PC-4400 for major overclocking
SLI GeForce 6800 Ultras, from whatever company currently makes the "best" one
two 74 GB Raptors in RAID 0 and a 200+ GB hard drive from whichever company you prefer
that NEC 3500A Dual Layer DVD±RW drive
a floppy drive, as I think they still are useful
Also, you may want to get one of those memory card readers, but I know absolutely nothing about them.
Also also, I figure most of this information is a couple months out of date. There could be better heatsinks than the XP-90 and XP-120, as I haven't been really paying attention to that area.
Also also also, you could always go with a dual Opteron rig with SCSI hard drives in all.
Also also also also, I'm terribly sorry if this post is in some way not allowed or something.
