Did I do good?

[nickanderson]

I just ordered some new guts for my pc, are there any known issues with this combo?

Asus A8N SLI (standard edition)
AMD 4000+ (single core, im a gamer only)
BFG 7800GT OC

I have currently 1.5GB of Kingston 3500 HyperX RAM

Thanks!

You'll be replacing the cipset fan on your motherboard soon, I would have gotten the Premium. But that's fine, Zalman sells good cipset coolers.

ut oh... how will i know when the chipset fan stops

Excellent choice of components, but yes the fans on those boards are dying. A lot of people are just replacing them with the Zalman ZM-NB47J passive heatsink. But Asus will send you a replacement fan if it dies, they're aware of the issue.
