go with a 8800gt you can get for about 80 bucks on net and the shader values are better than the 9800gt and you save like 100 bucks

and even better go for an sli mobo and get 2 8800 gt for the price of 1 9800 and watch your fps and movies just pop
by doing that youll have to boost you psu to about 900 or 1k watts not much of a price hike considering the better play youll get off of 2 vid cards

with a 4 core processor you might want to think of atleast 4gigs ram also depend on how much mulit tasking you gonna do



gaming wise you really don need a 4core just yest stick with the amd am2x2 64 bit processors im running amd am2x2 5400 oc to 3ghz from 2.8 with 2 7800 gtx oc(on there way out saveing for 8800 gt oc) 4 gigs ram pc2300 (velocity) 2 250gig sata mirror raid for Op system (xp64) and 2 300 gig mirrored for all programs(games moveis etc) i run dods at about 60 +fps (when the cards were new i ran at 100fps even scoped with smoke nades going off


all this is my opinon though ya dont have to tke my advice but ive bee building pcs sin i was about 13 and im 28 now. all in all ya dont have to be fancy to build an awsome pc for cheap buck spen all of about 500 total and most of it was the vid cards cuz they had just came out at the time

Here is my suggestion, I had the choice between the 8800gtx ssc and the 9800gt, I went with the 8800 becasue the 9800 had just came out and was expensive. but if you dont care spending say $200-250 on a graphics card get two 9800gt cards and run them sli. but make sure the rest of your stuff your getting supports sli.
 
Thanks guys i would get a better Mobo but it is a X-mas Parents said i have $250 dollar limit so yea i wanted a quad core for mulitasking yea 2gbs of ram getting a anthor 2gbs of ram The Reason i went with 9800GT i got it for like 90 Dollars so yea this is my first build ever on a budget i think i did ok but you have to admit my Case is Sexy

It's a shame money is such an object in this case. If you had a few hundred more to spend I would make some suggestions.
 
Alright then...

Never skimp on the PSU. Not only does it control how much power your system can consume at a given time, it also directly contributes to the quality of electricity your components receive. I would recomenned this PSU if you had the money:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171032

Not only does it look nice, it is one of the best PSUs on the market.

For a little bit more money you could have this HDD:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218

Properly formatted it can read at 100 MBps and write at 80. It only has two platters instead of 3 , so wear is reduced as well there is a decrease in seek times. All in all, one of the best drive on the market(it's faster than a raptor)

Oh wow, 9800GTs are now CHEAPER than 8800GTs!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103249

For 40 bucks more you could get the 9850 BE; it runs 200MHz faster, has the TLB fix, and runs about 10 percent faster clock-for-clock that the 9600. So it would run like a 2.7 GHz compared to the 9600.
