New Computer Help and Advice welcome !

hi i have a very old 32bit computer and am thinking of a massive upgrade.

at the moment graphics are very bad and slow loading and saving when file are large.

Present Computer

CPU AMD Athlon 3000+ 32bit Socket A running at 333MHz

Mem. 2GB

Graphics Radeon AGP X850XT 256MB GDDR3

New Computer

Mother Board : Asus Crosshair II Formula

CPU : AMD X2 Dual Core AM2 Athlon 64 6400 3.2GHz

Mem. : Corsair 4GB DDR2 (2x2048MB) XMS2 Dominator 8500C5 with Fan

Graphics : Asus GeForce GTX 280 1024MB GDDR3 PCI-Express

This is a very expensive upgrade and will take months to save for but it has to be done. i hope not to have to do another major change for a few years as the motherboard will hopefully later allow me to add another 4GB Mem. , another GTX280 in SLI setup and even go with a triple core CPU when there speeds are faster.

Any thoughts, ideas and advice welcome !

Thanks paul
