Suggestions on this build.

[devman]

I guess this is kind of a budget rig, my old system kicked the bucket so I'm building a new one, with some carry over parts.

AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (San Deigo)

eVGA Geforce 7800GT PCI-e 256MB

Carry over parts:
80GB Western Digital SATA HDD
1 GB Corsair Value RAM DDR400
Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150
Sony CD-RW and a Sony DVD-ROM drive

One major concern i have is if the PSU will be able to power this whole rig since I think a low-grade PSU is the reason my last system decided to die, so any insight would be great. I plan on ordering parts wednesday so suggestions would be apprecated.

PSU looks fine. Care going for X2 4400?

Unfortunetly thats a little out of my budget, are there any problems with the San Deigo core I should know about, or is the X2 just better all around?

Anyway, still planning on ordering parts tomorrow, so again suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

I prefer the X2. It's dual core and can handle multitasking better than the San Diego. You won't ever have that moment of ~sluggishness~ with an X2. If you're just gaming, stick with San Diego. If you're crossing between several apps all the time, go with X2.
