Hello, Im going to be buying new CPU,Motherboard and graphics card at the end of the month. Ive chosen the following. AMD 64 XP3500+ Winchester 939 Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI ATI Radeon X600XT Gigabyte 3D Rocket Cooler Pro I play a few games but i would like to know what you think about each component there. Thanks Ben

I think the component list and the reputation of each one speak for themselves Ben !!! Will you get new ram for this or will you use the current pc2700 you have ?? I would sugest a couple of sticks of ddr 400 Corsair twin x perhaps. One small point which I am sure you know already is use a darn good power supply for this setup, and a good case. If you are using 2 drives or more split the drives up and leave one bay free between them to help with cooling. A very good choice indeed. Enjoy Regards IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT

maybe a dual channel kit of pc4000 memory for room to overclock and increased performance, as you overclock-keep the memory at the same speed Abit AS8 LGA775 2.8 @ 3.36 2 x 512 Geil Ultra Platinum PC4000 @ DDR480 128 meg Radeon 9800 Pro DUAL 36 GIG WD Raptors 21 in. 19.8 viewable Sony Trinitron 4 Mbps cable connection

Pretty close to my new setup. but why are you buying an SLI motherboard? Unless you going to buy another GFX card later then scrap that, and even if you were, ATI cards aren't yet compatible with SLI!!! Surely there is a board with comparable performace without SLI for a cheaper price? My motherboard is a K8NSNXP-939 and its a corker i love it (but its only AGP, so if you want PCI-E i think there is a similar board with that) Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 Athlon 64 3500+ Dual - Corsair TwinX CMX512-3200XL Gecube X800 XT Platinum Seagate 200 Gig Coolermaster Wavemaster Silver

Hello Again, Does this motherboard support the new winchester core? Do i need to upgrade my pc 2700 ram and if so could any of you give me a site with good prices? Thanks Ben

Hello, Ive decided on getting the following AMD 64 3200+ Winchester 939 2x Corsair Memory CMX512-4000PT XMS4000 512MB 3-4-4-8 Silver Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9 Socket 939 nForce 4 Ultra PCI-E ATX Radeon X600XT 256MB PCI-E DVI-I VIVO Gigabyte PCU22-VG 3D ROCKET COOLER-PRO Will the memory work with the motherboard? Thanks Ben

One of the things about ggbt is that ther mother boards dont carry a specific ram type usage. Their board to the best of my knowledge will work with any type or make, as long as it is within their specification. Your chioce of cooler is good, I have the 2004 GT ultra series on my cpu and I do admit it is most impressive to say the least. Excelent cooling, looks good, and very quiet. I dont know what case you have but as far as my personal oppinion is concerend I would be lookign at a good quality aluminium case, with a side and rear exauhst fans, and add a fron intake as well, this will aid in cooling the drives and add extra air flow through the case. Hope that helps. regards IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT
