Thanks alot everyone.

You need to relook your motherboard/processor combo, they aren't the same socket. AMD 64's are socket 754, 940, or 939. You have a socket A (Athlon XP/Duron) board.

 

[Asian Fury]

if you're not overclocking, just get some cheap Kingston Value RAM and put the money saved towards a better graphics card, IE 6800GT or X800Pro. It might also be nice if you switched the CD-RW to a combo drive

 

[MemoryInAGarden]

Fix the motherboard/processor mishap and you'll be fine. The A7N8X is a sound choice if you want to use socket A. I would go with a SATA hard drive just for the convenience of routing the cable.

Also, I think you will find 80gigs fills up faster than you can imagine. You can find great deals on 160 gig SATA drives out there.
