I have 1000 bucks to spend on a new box minus case and psu for now. I am definitely going sata raid 0 (effectively 160GB) for 170 bucks, 9800Pro for 330 (an asus model), and depending on the processor (whether I wait or not) the mobo will be an Abit Kv8-Max3.
I do not particularily wish to wait for a socket 939, as it will be another 2 months before anyone can convince me their motherboard is the best one. I am more likely to wait for this new stepping revision in the 754s provided someone comes up with proof that it will be incorporated in the lower 754s without a significant price hike. (I couldn't find anything useful)
I am leaning toward the 3200 for the extra 256k cache. But I will not spend over 300 on the processor alone. (in essence, no 3400 suggestions).
Thanks, Max
