new pc games are coming out, hardware upgrade to....
 

With the new games coming out I want to upgrade my pc to something a little better.I am looking for something that is intel chip compatable to the new 45 nm process when it comes out. direct X 10 as well as a video card that is dx10. The chip I am looking at is Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 right now, but things change as fast as prices. a SATA II hdd,dvd burner cpu cooler ( maybe a Tuniq Tower 120 cpu heatsink). so any suggestions are welcome. I would like a good system for a year or two but I am not looking for something with bragging rights-( no rich parents) - just something that would work and be affordable to the average person.
thanks!

A guy in my dads office bought a new AMD 64 2Ghz dual, small profile, printer, and screen for 1000 CAD.

Are you looking for something like that? If your planning on converting.. (Canadian store) you'd better do it quick, 97Cents/1dollar US. Wow..

A P35 based mobo and a Gforce 8800 GTS 320 MB videocard will do fine with the processor you've choosen,and you get a decent midrange gaming set with those components....
