Hi, i was just wondering if u guys could take some time out of your busy day to look over my new rig and make some suggestions on it;

-Maxtor MaXLine III 7L300R0 300GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA133 Hard Drive
-ASUS A8N-SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD
-eVGA 256-P2-N529-AX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3
-Antec NEOPOWER 480 ATX 480W Power Supply
-CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model TWINX2048-3200C2PRO
-AMD Athlon 64 FX55 San Diego 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor
-and finally the thermaltake tsunomie case.

o ya i was wondering if that ram is good, if not could u suggest a better ram around that price range with 2GB. also i need suggestions on a processor fan. and i think that will be it. all your comments will be gladly accepted!!! (except for mean ones)

For CPU cooling, go with an XP-90 or XP-120, and 90mm or 120mm fan.
Also, in your place, I would go with a dual core s939 opteron (165/170/175 depending on budget), and OC it past FX-55 speeds.
If you think its likely that you'll add another gtx for sli, you might want a more powerful PSU. The 480watt is plenty for what you have listed now, but wont be sufficient if you add another card.

Love the Tsunami. Excellent case choice.

Get a SATA Hard drive.

Get a SATA Hard drive.

Yeah. I didnt catch that. I would go with an SATA drive as well, although there's absolutely nothing wrong using a pata drive - especially if you only have one drive per channel. SATA cabling is easier to manage most of the time though.

SATA hard drive for sure

Also, I think you can find OCZ RAM with comparable timings for cheaper, iirc
