[SaLaxNooBie]

This is my soon to be setup. I need a new comp for college because im going to college to make video games (and play them). I know nothing really of computers. Please tell me what you think. Any suggestions are appreciated. I will be using it to play online games. Write videogame code and video edit. Thanks.

everything looks really good.

socket 939 is a great socket, but AMD does plan on fading it out, so if you plan on upgrading sometime in the future, then i recommend moving up to socket AM2. the price and performance is pretty much the same. only difference is you'll be using DDR2 ram instead.

i also forgot to mention that intel has released (or in the process of releasing) their much anticipated core duo processors which greatly outperform their AMD counterparts. i recommend you take a look at them. perhaps delay your computer purchase by a week or two to see how things go. if you still want to stick with AMD, then you'll save at least $100 because AMD plans on cutting prices to stay competitve with the newly released core duo chips. so just wait a week or two to see new prices etc...
