Many people believe that dual cpus will give you top of line gaming rig...but Gaming Benchmarks have shown single CPU dominating that department. With money not being an issue here by the looks of it...a 9700 PRO and a 3gig Intel on a granite bay would be the way to go...with maybe 512mb of 3200 on each channel since its supports Dual Channel memory. Man that would be a sweet system. 9700 pro is a better choice than the 4600 not only cuz of the better performance but it supports Direct X 9 and the 4600 only supports DX 8; but, a better choice over the 9700 Pro would be a Geforce FX...which is 500 bucks but you will have to wait a month or so. Really worth it the wait tho. With money not a problem i would be a bit patient and go with nVidia's Geforce FX.
