a socket 939 athlon64 is 160 at the cheepest. Now add a mobo (which, on sale with the proc) is atleast another 60. That's pci-e graphics, so a pci-e card...like a cheeper 6600 is going to be more than 100 probably. You are looking at atleast 300 to 350 for an average a64 system. |

You could get an S939 A64 system and an nForce3 based board which would have an AGP slot for your 9800Pro
You could also save a few $$ by going with Socket 754, but IMO the 939 is worth the extra few bucks.

IMO, what you should get depends greatly upon what you use your computer for, i.e. gaming, video editing, etc..... |

First of all, you need to list ALL your current specs.... IS this a Dell system your upgrading, because its not just as easy as trading a few parts... |
