My First Time Building a new PC

[uzi9mm]

Go for the new Pentium 4 64bit CPU's !!!!!!!!!

If you were going to buy an EE pentium, save your money and get this.

Just what I was going to post, Uzi.

If you must go with Intel (why on God's green earth, I don't know), go with a 660. It's cheaper, and should run just as good.

But, as was mentioned above, an FX-55 costs less than an Exptremely Expensive edition, and you'd be set for AMD's dual-cores...which wil trash Intel yet again...

You need to look into getting DDR2 ram, dual channel @ 533mhz a piece to take advantage of a 1066bus.
2x sticks of ddr2 of 512mb 533mhz , running dual channel perhaps?

I highly suggest you wait untill the fx-57 comes out. It's sopposobly going to have a huge increase in speed.
