What type of use will this machine be for? Gaming? Internet Surfing? A little of both?

Figure out your primary use of the system and go from there.

any certain budget? obviously a decent wattage antec or similar brand name power supply would be preferable if the budget allows. Something like a 400watter or more.

a Lian-Li PC-61 might be nice, or a chieftec dragon

make sure (especially with a fast expensive chip) your cooling is more than sufficient

as for vid card i would go with a 9800 pro

No money problem? Can you adopt me?

Well for the PS I'd go with http://www.pcpowercooling.com/about/...whatnew510.htm

Vid card would be a Radeon 9800 XT.
