My pc expert help needed

[railmaster7]

im mainly a gamer and i like having the graphics at the highest settings. I also do some photo/video editing. Im building my computer and this is what ive come up with. if you notice or know anything that may conflict or have a better idea plz let me know.

Im still missing a case. im looking for one that is not big or small but with lots of features/ports. id like it UV sensitive cuz my mobo is also. so if you have any that you like or good ratings, reviews, stuff like that i would appreciate it.

Im in kind of a loss for power sources, i need one that will support high performance parts and things.

dont get the Expert, just get the Regular SLi-DR, expert has bugs, and not compatible with somekind of Corsair memory from what i hear, and its BUGGY, get the regular SLi-DR. i Suggest 2x1gb dual channel, preferabbly OCZ, G.Skill, or Crucial.

as for the 7900GT, get from BFG or eVGA, eVGA has the superclocked version 2, and it has a lifetime warranty, and a stepup program so, yeha, im sure everyone else here would suggest for eVGA.

i cant find a Lanparty series mobo that supports my AMD X2

 

[john3]

thats not true, as long as the mobo is socket 939, it wil support it, everyone here that has a dual core amd, and uses a DFI Lanparty UT Ultra-D or SLi-DR has no problems. its the retailers fault that they didnt list it, it supports it, no worries there. ANY socket 939 motherboard, supports ANY socket 939 Processsor.

 

[railmaster7]

alright whats the diff between the two

DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail


does any brand of 7900GT have more features than anyother? and is it worth it to buy the "superclocked" versian for $40 more

and do i have to worry about compatibility w/
Memory Clock or
Core clock
to my X2

i was maybe thinkin
Crucial Technology 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - OEM

 

[Ridlyn]

nah dont buy the superclocked version, you cand easily just do it oyurself.

 

[john3]

it doesn say it supports X2, but it really does, as long as the CPU is socket 939, it is compatible, i freaked out about it last month 2, but am now reassured.

 

[john3]

definitely get the 2 gig ram, get the eVGA regular 7900GT, not superclocked or anything, and get the UT Ultra-D instead of the SLI-DR, because u can easily mod it to SLi when u actually need it.

 

[railmaster7]

CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory

this is the ram im thinkin about. if i decide to get a
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce SPP 100 or a
MSI K8N Diamond Plus Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 or a
Lanparty mobo
would this ram would work on all of these?

 

[john3]

how bout u get that ram u picked, the DFI lanparty UT ULtra-D. and its final
