first of all, murag sayop imo pagkasulti nga AMD 64 x2 5000+ black edition powered by NT06 lite... ---> a heatsink does not power your processor. it only cools your processor.

between the 3870 and 8800GT, i would have to say go for 8800gt. it just performs better and is about the same price

for your motherboard, i would like to suggest nga dapat AM2+ compatible na siya, para di naka kinahanglan mang change ug mobo, when you want to upgrade your processor. but i doubt kung kaya sa imong budget nga 5k... pero try searching lang...
