Here, I might as well give you the list of what I'm purchasing..
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego
Corsair Valueselect 2x1GB
eVGA 7800GT CO
Western Digital 160GB
Cooler Master Centurion 5
Fortron 450W
So, I may be able to get some better RAM, but I still am not sure about the mobo. I would love to get an Asus A8N-SLI Premium, but I don't think I can afford anything above $120-$130. I am seriously considering the DFI board, but I am a beginner..
