Well I haven't built a PC in 2 years, and now i'm thinking it;s time to upgrade, now that i work full time. I'm not going to touch this computer, and just use it as back up.

Here's what I put together.

1.MoBo: It's between Asus -SLI Delux, Abit Fatality SLI, or MSI Neo4 SLI Plat. I can't seem to chose between the three.

2.CPU: AMD64 3700+ San Diego, or AMD64 X2 3800

3: SONY 16X Dual Layer DVD+/-RW, Model DRU800A - Retail

4.SILVERSTONE SST-TJ05S-X Silver Aluminum front panel/door, 0.8mm SECC body ATX Mid Tower Computer

5. Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L250S0 250GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM

6.BFG Tech BFGR68256GTOCX Geforce 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail

7. Kingston HyperX 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 433 (PC 3500) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model KHX3500AK2/1G - Retail

8. Antec TRUE CONTROL 550 ATX 550W Power Supply - Retail

9. 1.44 sony floppy

ALso Fans and thermal paste and what ever I left out.

SO what do you think I should change.

I went SLI becasue later Im going to add another VC.
 
Comes out to be 1,500.00 which is good. I might just upgrade the Video Card to a 7800 GTX or add another 6800GT 256. Also maybe 2gig of ram.
 
Switch to 2GB of Value RAM, you don't need XMS/HyperX/etc to get good OC performance on A64 systems.

The hard drive is a fabulous choice. Maxtor has the fastest thing going in 7200RPM with their 16MB buffer drives.

Check out the NEC 3540 DVD-RW drive, it's a fantastic drive at an even better price.
