NEW AM2 system build help needed.


Just want to build me a new PC to replace my Barton system. So the
improvment in speed should be pretty massive

I want to use the system just for games and video Encoding.

I have no idea what Mobo,ram ect i want or need. I was thinking
atleast 2 gigs of ram and a 7900 GT. And possibly 2 250gig SATA
drives in raid 0 Config.

But the rest i have no idea.

Just need some help.

My Budget is 1500 Bucks Australian

Thanks.
