Ok I did some research and now I'm wondering if I should go with the AMD Athlon 64bit. It's cheaper and faster for gaming. Can someone give me a link to a good mobo that supports amd 64 bit processors? Also what is the fastest the AMD's go? And what about the heat issue, could I just get water coolage and everything would be fine?

Ok is this a good mobo http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-131-490&depa=1 ?

I found the processor I want, http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-416&depa=1 , Is that a good one? I read the reviews and everybody says it's faster than the intel 3.2ghz with ht tech., Is that true?

I want to get a good video card for gaming, I know I can't afford the new ones from Radeon and PCI, I don't need the best of the best, I'm just looking for a good stable card.

Here is the memory I'm looking at http://www.crucial.com/store/PartSpecs.asp?imodule=CT12864Z40B&cat=RAM , is there any better for cheaper because that is very exspensive.

Ok now I need some help, I have decided on the Intel processor and Asus board, I heard the term phase change thrown around somewhere and heard that it can produce - degrees celsius inside of your comp. Is this true and if so where can I find it? I also heard that mineral oil can be used in water cooling systems, and that it does not conduct electricity.

All I can say is wow. http://www.crazypc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=120199&Product_Code=9280 look at that.

875p Chipset is good. If you're going to get 1gb of ddr ram, i suggest you get two 512 sticks.. That way it runs in dual channel.
SDRAM is older ram, I don't even know if they make SD boards anymore.. ?

thats a waste of money. I my self have watercooling. All you gotta buy is a refridgerator compressor and run antifreeze in ur watercooling and you will have the same results. Since u cant run water becuase it will get too cold. They use glycol now in those but you can use antifreeze.
