So I havn't bought it yet, but this is what I'm pretty sure I'm getting. Check it out. What do ya think?

ATI x1900xtx
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 1GHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor
and either the MSI K8N Diamond Plus Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 ATX AMD Motherboardhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130037
or the ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce SPP 100 ATX AMD Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131568

Will my ram that I have now (the 2700) be usuable with my new setup? atleast till I get more? and my PSU (ultra x-connect 500w) be good enough to handle all thesse new upgrades? (i was told it was a pretty bad choice, and it should be replaced)

anyways just tell me what you think!
 
no, id reccommend getting new ram if yuou have to build now




But, i say right now is one of theworst times to build a pc, i say if you can hold out with what you have, wait, for am2, becuase am2 is going to be dd2, and that will become mainstream probobly. Id hold off, investigate your puchase more, plus, id get a dfi nf4 mobo instead of the MSI
 
now is really the time i need to upgrade since i'm going away to college soon. I don't really want to wait for AM2, 1. because its going to be awhile, 2. because its going to be hella expensive.

I'm not really into overclockign that much so the DFI i don't think would be the best choice.
 
PSU (ultra x-connect 500w) is iffy at best. You can give it a try and see how it works but I'd be ready to get an OCZ or True Power if problems arise. The thing about PSU problems are that they are sometimes hard to diagnose. Some folks RMA MB's and RAM and then find out it's the PSU.

Good Luck!
 
DFI mobos are rock stable, thats why, and are very upgradable, and look cool (hadda say that)

thats why
