go with that mobo and downgrade to a 3200+ for 166 dollars as you can OC it to 3500+ speeds, then with that 40 dollars upgrade to this

donutdan said:actually i dont need 2 1/2 gigs of ram, instead ill go with the 3700+ and the biostar mboard and the 6800GS which totals around 560 (tax+shipping added there) and then i have some left over to get this ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145440
So in the end these are the comp stats
AMD Athlon 64 San Diego 3700+
eVGA nVIDIA 6800GS
1.5 gigs of corsair value select pc3200 ram
450 watt raid max /w ATX steel case
BIOSTAR NF4UL-A9 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813138249)
1 SATA 120gb HD and 1 PATA 60gb drive
XP PRO
the total comes out to about 625 most likely (thats with tax and shipping)
the only problem i can see is that the 6800GS is outta stock right now, so im praying on that one
