Ok I have a $1200 not including shipping. I want a fast computer that is very overclockable and I only need the box. I will need hd, mobo, ram, video card, psu, case, dvd burner, cpu, and some sound card if needed. I use a 5.1 headset.

noooooo not the 4200... it's a waste. if your ocing, get an amd opteron 165. It's 30 dollars cheaper... also, I don't know abou that ram, so do a bit for research. I'd recommend the Antec Truepower II 550 watt power supply: it's about the same price and is respected. otherwaise the rest is great. If you're getting a case, though, mae sure it matches ur dvd burner color.

yeah opteron 165 I agree would be a decent altertive. I made a mistake with the ram I just sure the name and the 2-2-2-5 timing and asumed it was pc3200 stupid me. yeah you woudl want to change that to a pc3200 model.

I covered it in my last post. I should of gotten pc 3200 ram or higher. It will only run higher then pc3200 if he overcloking.

it 1000 hypertransport not FSB.
 
Umm, AFAIK, this "rule" no longer applies to AMD because of the onboard memory controller. Or at least I thought it didn't apply anymore, if not I thought it wasn't as important.
