I need some help building a computer

[SFSoldier]

I need some help building a computer. I already bought an ATi X800XL 256MB PCI-Express X16 which means I have aobut $850 to spend on the rest of the parts. I have no clue what to get and where to buy. Whats good on the market? So if anyone could post some links to good parts I would apprechiate it. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Speak stupid to me, I dont know much about computers.

AMD socket 939 would be a good place to start. I prefer Abit or Asus. I'd go with a 3000+ and an Nforce3 or 4 board and 2 gigs of ram. This game is freaking memory hungry.

What? What does all that mean? I just wnat someone to tell me what to buy but when I was going to get pre built everyone yelled at me.

He would have to go Nforce4 as Nforce 3 doesn't support PCI-e, which he already has the card for.

Okay $850 is a good amount, especially considering you don't need a video card (you already have one)

Now I will gladly pick out the parts and link you to the best prices I can find, just tell me what parts you need (post here).

i.e.

Case:
Motherboard:
Processor:
Heatsink:
Memory:
Hard drive(s):
