or this
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual Core Processor Socket AM2 Brisbane 2.5GHZ 2X512KB 65NM 65W Retail Box - DirectCanada
I can get both for about the same price, and i was also wondering how much $155 would get me after Intel's price cuts, because i like intels chips....im just cheap lol.

Sound Card
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Surround Sound 24-bit OEM
(about 55)
Monitors(two of these)
Sceptre X20WG-Naga 20.1" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 5ms, 1000:1, WSXGA+ 1680 x 1050, DVI, Black, Speakers in Canada at TigerDirect.ca
all of this adds up to roughly 1500, i may try and get the Icemat Siberia, because i dont really use speakers, and i want a nice comfy high quality headset for fairly cheap. Anyways, put any advice you can give me, especially about the intel price drop.
