AMD Athlon 64 Gaming system

Alright I have decided to go with:
Proccesor- http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...103-463&DEPA=1
RAM- 1GB
Video Card- Spend around 200
Mobo- a good one that will work with what I got
sound card: Not too important right now, I can deal with a integrated one and upgrade later
Case- Just a cool gaming case

If anyone can help me find these things for a good price that would be helpfull

well what if you wanted to upgrade the card in the future when new cards don't come in agp, or he could upgrade the mobo and add another card in sli down the road for cheaper than it would be to get a new card that is that fast, if you could even get an agp version...also if he gets the 6600 GT he can get the same performance as a 6800 and still have enough to get the 3500+ or something else
