Current setup is-

AMD 3500+
x800xl 256 AGP
K8N-E Deluxe mobo
1GB Ram

what would be a good CPU/Mobo/Graphics Card combination to last me through into next year? i was thinking bout going x2 3800 but not sure about the rest.It will be purely for gaming use.

thanks :)

If your going for a new cpu and mobo and get some new ram as well.
This should be a decent upgrade, the X1800XT is a very good card but i've also heard good things about the new EVGA cards. If you want an EVGA card then change the gfx for a nvidia 7900GT.
