Hey guys.

Ok since im getting a 9800GT from a mate i need help deciding on what pc to buy.

Havnt been in the PC hardware section for a long time, so here goes nothing.

Intending to use it for gaming duh

All i need is the following.

PSU for the 9800GT
CPU (Quad core plz)
Board
Chip
Ram (i dunno if i shuould upgrade it somes cheap ram but it is 2gigs of DDR2 800)

I cant REALLY say a budget cause i dont even know myself
