Question Questions about a new system

IÂ’m relatively new to the whole computer modding scene, and I am making myself a new computer. and I have the following questions.

First off, my future system look like this so far with out the water cooling supplies i will buy and drives and whatnot.





Abit AV8 http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProduc...127-181&depa=0 $111.00

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...103-501&depa=0 $175.00

BFG-GeForce 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 AGP http://www.chumbo.com/Info.aspx?id=220349 $400.00

Western Digital 80GB 7200RPM SATA http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...135-106&depa=0 $63.69

OCZ Rev2 Gold Edi. 2x(512) http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...146-845&depa=1 $274.50

400-Watt / ATX / Dual 80mm Fan / Titanium-Color PSU http://www.ultraproducts.com/product...e2f5a0636ffd25 $109.76


I was wondering if there was a better option than the Abit Av8 MOBO.
Also, What about the Video card, is this a good option?

I was wondering, would the AMD 3000 come with a defalt heat sink i could use temporaily untill i get my H2O cooling setup?

Looks like a good setup, why the lancard? Yes it should come with the standard OEM cooler.

NVidia is clearly the way to go at this time. It is silly to by according to brand allegance. I support whoever has the best product at the best price, for the time being that is NVidia at all price points.

I currently run a 9800Pro and would upgrade to 6800 (Ultra or GT) in a heartbeat if I could afford it. I thought about getting a 6600 GT (which I could affford), but the performance upgrade from the 9800 Pro doesn't seem to justify it.

Anyhow, the 6800 GT OC is the right choice.
