and im just going to transfer everything else. hdd's (80,160,300 all ide), ram (1x1024@400mhz,1x512@400mhz, 1x512@226mhz), rom drive, psu (Antec Truepower 2 410w), and yea all that good crap (mouse,monitors, etc.).

so im just wondering if you would change anything around at all? maybe a bigger psu? n what about the ram? think i should leave out the 226mhz? buy more? give me some feedback guys.
 
Wrong motherboard mate, the motherboard you have chosen is agp, and the 7800GTX is PCI-E, instead going with the 640, you can go with the 930 or something similar.

Here try these parts out
Asus P5LD2
Intel Pentium D 930
Evga 7800GTX

or
Asus A8N-Sli
AMD 3800+ X2
Evga 7800GTX

Leave out the 226mhz ram, just use the DDR400's or better yet sell both of the stick and get 2x1gb and run them in dual channel.
 
Don't buy any of that stuff. A 7900gt is a way better deal than the 78gtx, and get a 64.
 
You need compatable items.
The MB states it has a PCI-e slot but runs at 4x max????? I'd reconsider that choice and buy a new board, for one thing, that supports PCI-e 16x. A nice ASUS A8N board????but needs AMD socket 939 however.
There's nothing wrong with the 7800GTX graphics card. However the new 7900GT is essentially the same thing and is a little cheaper. BUT right now you will have a hard time finding one, there-in a good argument for buying the 7800 GTX.
Check the RAM compatability with the board.....it may be better and less headache to buy new 2x1GB of good value RAM like Corsair or Kingston.
I like AMD CPUs myself, but if you are an Intel person there's nothing wrong at all with the choice. :D
Your PSU is ok. The 7800 will demand at least 350W and 18 Amps if Im not mistaken.Make sure you have a molex to PCI-e adapter either with the card or on hand.
AND.....if I was a moderator I'd have to kick you to GeneralHardware......this section is for OEM systems.....I'm not trying to be a jerk,but Ive got plenty of bruises from being kicked for posting in the wrong area. :eek:
 
ok. i will update my choices and post in the right topic then. sorry. didnt notice.
