and i think after all that you've saved $63 (i mighta screwed up the calculations.. hehe)

or you could go another route and maybe spend not as much on the cpu i mentioned and just get a better video card (well the vid card you have now is really good still..)

btw.. your sig is really funny, LOL!
 
Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps PCI Adapter

hope you dont plan on gaming online w/ that.


i have excellent connection w/ my router at 54mbps and i still lag. big difference from wire connection.
 
dont get the 4400+. I have one and i regret it (as ive stated in other threads). i reccomend an opty 170. since your not overclocking its still a great proccesor out of the box, but if you decide too you can get ridiculous speeds with it.

3800 is good. alot of people have them, but i just like my opteron 170 so much. if you have the money get one.
 
Get a different PSU, maybe the Enermax Liberty 620 (what I just bought) or the Seasonic S16 600, it will be plenty, both are about $150. I was going to get that same PSU but after much deliberation, I realized that it was too much based on how much it cost. And then upgrade the RAM.

If you then have the money get the RAM that ASUS and Corsair matched for each other. The TWINX20483500LLPRO it was $300 at zipzoomfly but is well worth it and boots out of the box at 2-3-2-6 timings. Check out a pic of my rig with the RAM in it.
