How good will this computer be?

[AstonFanboy]

Okay the CPU I posted earlier about the AMD 64 3400+ (2.4) was false I found out it was actually a Socket 754 and not a 939 so I revised and I am going to buy the 3400+ (2.2) from PCCLUB for $239. Also Gibagyte motherboards are very reliable plus I already bought it so i'm not changing that. Depending on the price of the DDR400 PC3200 ram I may revise that also. Also does anyone know of any websites for forceware to overclock or get any additional boosting for my EVGA 5700LE?

I have actually heard from many people that Gigabyte motherboards are prefered over ASUS.

Once again the CPU from PCCLUB 3400+ is a s754 and I found out there is no such thing as a s939 3400+ so I guess I will have to save up the extra money and get a 3500+

Stop ragging on the motherboard I have heard many good things about Gigabyte motherboards and am not changing my mind. I already hav e the mobo but it is going to take me a while to save up until I get a job this summer.

Someone please look at the new specs and report back

Yeah, I read them backwards. I thought you were putting a Biostar board in. I've generally had good luck with Gigabyte boards with Intel processors. The very first time I bought I Gigabyte board to use with an AMD processor, it was kind of unstable. I switched back to ASUS immediately. Still, that could simply have been a defective board.
You have my blessing :<)
