Ok I think I have the final specs for my new build. And now I need some people to give me the "GO".

Mobo: ASUS A8N SLI Premium
CPU: AMD 3800+ Venice version
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145575
GPU: eVGA 7800 GTX

Since the mobo is made up of all PCI inputs, can I put my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 in it?
Will anything be bottle-necked??

thanks again!
 
yes youll have a bottleneck, youll always have a bottleneck, no system is 100pct perfect, no such thing, never has, never will............those are good specs, and since your dishing out so much on the cpu/gpu, why not get the crucial balistic 1 gig sticks? look those up on newegg they overclock much better than those corsair

and your system looks nice, i give it the go ahead, awesome specs
and yes your soundblaster will work fine in that mobo

Can you point this stuff out to me because I looked at newegg and couldn't find 184 pin Ballistic sticks

1gig Crucial Ballistix Stick from NewEgg, that should do you nicely, and if you do plan on OCing may I suggest this MotherBoard its a firggin awesome OCer and its very stable....and yes you can install your Audigy2 on this board and the Asus as well....I dont see why you would think you couldn't :confused: ....Everything else looks good bro...good luck on your build :D
 
so even tho that mobo's standard is 400 MHz PC3200

it can use 500 MHz PC4000?
 
you should plan to overclock. :) It helps with keeping your system up to date longer.

a stock 3000+ venice might bottleneck a 7800. I think.

A lot of people on here don't like Corsair. It's your choice. And yes even if a mobo says ddr400, it can run any speed.

If you REALLY don't want to OC, then get the ASUS and the cheaper ram. The Corsair. But you will probably want a better cpu if you do that. Look into a 3500+ if you are funds limited, or a 3700+ or 4200+. If you have a LOT more money, then get a 4800+. Doesn't seem like you have that much money though.

I understand why you misread my post

it said a 3800+ Venice

and also can you tell me which RAM you were talking about?

thanks
 
if you are not planning to overclock, you dont need high performance RAM. Crucial, OCZ, Corsair, and Kingston are all good companies. you can find a GB of valueRAM from any of them for $90 or less.
