Is everything compatible?

Yeah, it's compatible but, to critique that setup, I would go with this instead:

CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 for $180 w/free shipping
Mobo/Ram (Combo Deal) Asus P5Q Pro($15 MIR) + 4gig OCZ Fatal1ty Edition DDR2 800 for $133
Video - EVGA Geforce GTX 260(216) for $240 w/free shipping (Free FarCry2 w/ purchase & register at Manuf. to qualify)
PSU - Antec EA650 for $50 w/free shipping
HDD - WD 6400AAKS 640gig for $70 w/free shipping

Boom ---> $673 which is cheaper than what you pay at $720 upfront. Plus, this Intel setup blows that AMD Quad at a cheaper cost. You still can pop in a Xigmatek HS and Retention Bracket. On top of that, you have a larger HDD and EVGA brand video card. Boom! Hehe
 
I must go with a AM2+ socket board so I can upgrade to a Deneb if I want to in the future, and as for the GPU, I'm a blatant fanboy.
 
I do respect you for sticking with AMD man. Thanks. Hehe I like AMD and I hope they bounce back. Competition is always good. I like it when had the Intel PIII vs the AMD Athlon T-Birds back then.
 
No you dont, what if Deneb under performs?

why be a fanboy? it is so stupid to be a fanboy... the only person it hurts is you....

Let's just say because there are fanboys, there is competition, and the cheaper stuff gets. I'm willing to take one for the team.
 
Yeah, cause you figure, if it wasn't for AMD, who knows where Intel would be now since there won't be any competition. Intel would just be more laid back and no need to really rush a upcoming cpu, if there is no competition. Plus, Intel cpus would be more expensive. We have AMD to thank. The same goes with AMD/ATI vs Nivida on the GPU market. Nvidia cutting prices to compete with AMD/ATI and vice versa.

It's done, let's hope I'm not laid off before I can pay this or else I get hit with 22% interest...


And! I'm only 5 years into my last system, ONLY! Good bye Athlon Barton core.
 
Barton? Hehe. I got the Athlon Barton XP 2500+. handed it to my coworker. Aww shucks man you got that Seagate 250gig for $75 that's alot. You should have gotten the WD 6400AAKS 640 gig for $70 I specified, which is alot more space, faster and cheaper.

Wasn't sure, I just sorted the list by cache size hoping the 32 would be faster. I doubt I'll ever need 250 gigs, much less a whopping 600.

Can you still cancel the 250GB order? It's a really piss poor buy. Yes you may not need 600GB of storage but we're talking about speed here: That 250GB drive is damn slow compared to the WD6400AAKS.
 
They don't joke with the rush processing, it's been "approved" maybe a call?

No deal. Ah well, I'm buying a Phenom anyways, it's not like I hadn't screwed up already ;)
 
thanks for taking one for the team, i know it hurts.

sorry to hear about the HDD. :(
