video: Nvidia GTX 260 or ATI 5770.
Not experienced with Intel, so Idk.
CPU- Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
it is an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor - Retail for about $330.
you can use any socket 775 CPU, and the above Quad core is the best.
Socket 775 is core 2 duo, core 2 quad, and some high end pentiums and celerons.
for more choices, try this page []Newegg.com - Computer Hardware,CPUs / Processors,Processors - Desktops,Intel,LGA 775 . all of them should be compatable.
Sounds like a kick butt combo..
