What do you guys think of this? Any suggestions?

ASRock 939Dual-Sata2
AMD 3000+ Venice OR AMD 3200+ Venice (the 3000+ fits my budget better..)
1gb (2x512) Crucial Ballistix
FSP 400W PSU or this one (Second is cheaper, but the wires look easier to handle in the first.. they're both the same, other than that and color, afaik.)
EVGA Geforce 6800GS 256MB PCI-E (Step-up program for the AGP 6600GT I bought a few weeks ago before I'd planned to upgrade the rest of my pc)
WD 160GB SATA HDD (already own)
1x NEC DVD/CD burner (already own)
 
Personally, I vote for the Venice 3200+ and OCZ Value RAM. RAM on an AMD NF4-based system is the least bang-for-buck item, put your money where it will work for you more.
 
Yeah, get the OCZ value ram that you linked to and spend the saved money on a Thermalright XP-90.
 
Mm, yeah, I guess that makes more sense, considering the ASRock board only has 2.7v on the vdimm anyway.. :eek: Sounds good.
 
Well, guess I'm resurrecting this thread to ask a question. That E4 Venice I bought from ZZF.. I'm pretty sure it's not an E4. I'm not getting my mobo and the rest of my stuff until tomorrow, so I can't really test it right now, but...

CDBHE 0543TPMW seems too new to be E4, and I can't find any information on it.. so, if this ends up not OC'ing well, would I be able to RMA it to ZZF on the grounds that they gave me something other than what was advertised/purchased? o.o
 
No, that's an E4. The newest Venices are E4. So no, you cannot return it to ZZF.
