So, I have all this stuff for my AMD build (I don't want Conroe, so don't suggest it)

$28.99

$59.99

HDD:

$77.99

MoBo:

$150.99

Subtotal: $874.93

If I choose 3 day delivery (Though I'm impatient and tempted to spend the 65 extra $ on next day delivery), I'll have 65 extra dollars to spend on something else. Should I spend it on:

1. An X2 4200 (although I think the 3800 oc'd would be fine) and the oc'd Gigabyte 7900GT w/ zalman hs/fan.
2. A better mobo.
3. A better psu w/ PFC & Mod Cable perhaps (although I think the antec is good).
4. Everything is good enough. The faster it arrives the better. Next day delivery.

Suggestions?
 
well I would wait the couple days and maybe get another gig of ram. That would help you the most for that extra money :D I like the build. good choices

um, the corsair I have is 152 for 1.. 65 bucks isn't gonna buy me another stick (unless I buy patriot 2x1 ddr2-667 and oc to 800 but idk about that, never oc'd b4)... I'll have more money to spend in a few weeks, at which time I'll buy more ram. 1 will do me for the time.
 
Nice build. I was actually looking at building one almost exactly like this one.

I would save the money for another gig of ram :)
 
I don't need/want an iriver, my ipod is more than adequate.

I have 250+ bucks extra every week to spend (at least for a few more weeks), so next week I'll get more RAM, no need to save this 65 bucks for that. I had forgot to get an OS, so I guess I'll have to take that 65 and get XP Home OEM.. it comes in a combo deal with my mobo for 15 less than normal so I guess I better do that. Thanks for the suggestions.
