how much is all this? if under 1200 w/ monitor (or if ur not buying that) then thats good . not sure about the case :\

 

[darksenate78]

Yeah, all of it with my monitor is going to be 1139

The case is good, I checked some friends' opinions who know what's up and all that.

My mobo, processor, RAM, video card and case shall arrive on monday.

I'm waiting after that for the credit card to get the rest =D

I am SO excited

And if that sounded gay, **** you 'cause i'm not

Might want to spend the extra 20 bucks or whatever it is and get the XP3200, it's a 400FSB, unless you can find the 3000 with 400FSB but i couldn't find those easily.. i'm blond or something, as for the ram, might want to check the prices on the HyperX kingston sticks, the timings are better and it might not be too much more =)

 

[darksenate78]

Well, it's all right, man, I have the cash enough for the RAM and 3000+ is all i need =D

but thanks for the suggestions, they are much appreciated

 

[Demalii]

you'll kick your own ass once you realize the difference between 333fsb and 400.. but as long as your sure =)

 

[darksenate78]

Well, I can always upgrade, no biggie

 

[Cappy]

looks impressive go with it

 

[darksenate78]

whee!

can't wait until i have this bad boy up and running, it's gonna be so sweet =D.

and LAN parties will be fun again instead of waiting for Starcraft or Outcast games lol

Gawd, it's been so long since I've been up there

Oh yeah, I live in South Texas where it's real humid, you think as long as I ground myself by touching say the case I'll be all right? Or will one of those dorky anti-static electricity bands be needed?

Not bad, although an athlon 64 isn't too much more and its alot better. You will be kicking urself in the ass when you realize how much faster a 400Mhz is compaired to a 333Mhz. If you have to get a Gforce, get an ultra, ALOT better. Otherwise it looks like a very good system
