Damn. Changing my mind again... :<
Anyway i can afford the Amd 3500+ if i cut my harddrive size down to 160 mb (108) instead of 200(140) and i get a $130 MSI K8T Neo2-F VIA K8T800Pro w/ GB LAN, Audio Socket 939 instead of the MSI K8N Neo Platinum nVidia nForce 3 250Gb ($166) socket 754.

I say get the MSI K8N Neo2 skt 939 and processor if you get the 3500+ or the 3200+ also look for 90nm. Just go with what you can afford btw where are you planing on buying your parts?
