lol i kno thers about a million threads a day on this but here goes

looks like ill most likely (like 90% chance) be ordering my parts for my new system next week. Heres waht I was thinking, if anyone has suggestions please speak up:

AMD A64 Dual Core 3800 ~$400
DFI NF4 UT SLI-DR ~ $180
evga 7800GTX w/ battlefield 2 ~$550
1 gb of OCZ VX
Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS (already own)
Win PVR 250 (already own)
250 gb maxline iii w/ 16mb cache, ~$130
NEC DVD burner (already own)
PC P&C Turbocool 510 watt SLI
Windows XP professional.

And of course watercooling which consists of the following:
custom modded dual heatercore with matching shroud, cooled with 2 120mm deltas with a max airflow of 129 cfm, but i will run them at 5v each wich is 26dBA and 54cfm.
Eheim 1250
Swiftech Storm waterblock
DD maze 4
Some BGA ramsinks (and another delta exhausting right over the vid card)

All in my new custom case. Thoughts? Suggestions? Room for improvement?


Thanks

if you game you MUST have two gigs! Trust me on this one. Otherwise bf2 will lag like hell.
 
Yea I'd go 2 gigs, if your concerned about overclocking and timings issues, the extra gig will outweigh those anyways. Aside from that, awsome picks, I wouldn't change anything!
 
alright so best 2 gig setup under $200?

and just for comparison, best 2 gig setup of all time?

EDIT: It looks like all anandtechs vid card tests use 1 gig ram and still get great frame rates at high res. So is it really that much smoother? I mean i dont do heavy multitasking really, mostly light multitasking
 
alright many of u will be pleased to know i decided to go with some 2 gig of OCZ that does 2-3-2-5
