We'd at least like to know what types of games you'd like to be running and what type of budget you are looking at...

If you are just going to run 3D games in general, I'd stick with OneCool's suggestions. thumbsup.gif

Which video card were you referring to?

I'd swap the vanilla 6800 for an X800 or a 6800GT if you can afford it.

The 3500+ clock is 2.2ghz; the 3200+ is 2ghz. In this respect, the 3500+ is faster at stock settings. Both should overclock quite nicely.
