Aye new computer

[sceevey]

Hey, I'm going to start ordering my parts next week and just wanted to hear some comments if they are bad or not. I already have the case, DVD burner, and soundcard. Don't need to worry about the OS either. I have just about $1,200 saved up so thats as much as I can spend. I won't be overclocking either because I don't want to void any warranties if I screw something up bad.

Anyways, here are the parts:

Mobo - ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Windsor 2000MHz HT Socket AM2 Processor Model (this might change if the X2 4000+ comes out within the next 2-3 weeks)

RAM - OCZ Gold Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit System Memory
(I heard there MIGHT be some incompatability with the asus mobo unless someone can reassure me that there isn't I will go with this...corsair is expensive for me )

Video card - eVGA 256-P2-N564 Geforce 7900GT KO

Hard drive - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA OEM

I was just talking to someone about his exact same m/b you're looking at. He also had OCZ ram. I can't remember if it was 667 or 800, but it was the gold series. His system would not boot at all. He went out and bought some cheap ram and it booted right up. so don't get the OCZ ram with that board

Also if you can wait a few weeks AMD should be cutting prices in half for that X2's.
