• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

My 3400/3500 debate?

I also already have a sound card, keyboard, mouse and monitor.
First is there anything I am missing, like I said this will be my first build so if you need to suggest something and embarrass me please do! I mostly game but do very light home movie editing.
 
The way I would approach that would depend on when you plan on moving to PCI-E. If you think that your NEXT motherboard and CPU will be something with PCI-E, then stick with the 754, since you will be upgrading again anyway....

Unless you plan on trying to keep your CPU when moving to a new motherboard platform, then you might be better off with the 939. However, I remember hearing about the new Nforce4 motherboards with PCI-E being released in a 754 flavor as well. Second opinion?
 
If you get the 939 mobo then the new dual core CPU's are supposed to fit straight in with may just a bios flash.

Just my 0.02P worth.

Luck........ :D
