I'm on a slightly tight budget, so I don't wanna spend too much.

CPU: AMD 64 3000+ (Venice)
Mobo:Asus A8N-Ultra
RAM: 2x512 OCZ cl2.5 (thinking of going 2gb, but my only option will be Geil cl3)
Video Card: 7800NU (whenever that comes out)
HDD: Seagate 200gb Sata II 16mb cache
DVD: NEC 3450
1.44" floppy drive
Case: Aspire X-Dreamer II
PSU: Antec TruePower 430 watts

Monitor: Samsung 730B
Windows XP Home edition
Logitech Media Keyboard (Already have)
Logitech MX510 (Already have)
 
everything looks good to me except that memory. look into some crucial ballistix, mushkins or corsairs.

i just dont personally like ocz
 
Nice setup, but like above I'd look into other memory. I'm pretty partial to Crucial myself, maybe check out their Value series if you're on a budget.
 
^ your guess is as good as mine.



Is it worth getting 2gb over 1 gb? The more money i save, the more i can spend on my video card.
 
I would get 2x1gb sticks and have room for an upgrade instead of getting 2x512mb and maxing out your 4 slots when it comes time for 2gbs unless you buy 2x1gb sticks then which you would have bought when you first built your PC.

If you are going to play games like BF2 then yes I would say get 2 gigs. But if you just using this for games that arn't at powerfull then 1 gig would do fine.
 
Just a couple of more questions.

I will probably stick with stock cooling, so I'm wondering if I should stick with a 3200+ instead. Also, is the A8N good for overclocking. I don't wanna do anything completely crazy, but I do want some decent speeds.
