Hello, Looking at putting together a computer. I have chosen some components but are split on others. Please post your opinions. If possible, please post the reasons you said what you did. CPU AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Toledo 2000MHz HT 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Dual Core Processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103546 ------------ Motherboard (split between) Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe nForce4 SLI Athlon 64(FX)/Athlon 64 X2/Sempron Skt939 DDR ATX Motherboard w/Audio, Dual Gigabit LAN, RAID/Serial ATA (model#A8N32-SLI Deluxe) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131568 OR DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-DR Expert Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813136166 OR DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813136151 (Possibly this one if it works with the processor I choose?) ------- Graphics Card (1 for now, get another for SLI later) XFX PV-T71G-UDP7 GeForce 7900 GT EXTREME (550MHz) 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150138 OR eVGA Geforce 7900GT 256-P2-N563-AX Video Card Model #: 256-P2-N563-AX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130281 ------------ Power Supply Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 550W Power Supply +3.3V +5V +12V1 +12V2 +5V SB -12V 32.0A 40A 19A 19A 2.0A 1.0A http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103931 Main questions are what you think for my choices for MB and graphics, and if you think the power Supply will work with the load its going to take. Other info, is that I would not overclock, or would very little. I've never overclocked before. Would stuff in 2GB Ram, Burners and or roms. OS would be XP Pro. Am willing to wait for the prices on the CPUs to drop down. and am looking to play AOE3, Oblivion, COD2, etc. Thanks for reading and helping!

The boards a all top notch... hard to choose !!!!!!! Lean towards the DFI only reason being cos of the superb test results they have been giving... But at that level I doubt if you will see much speed diff, between them.. As for the video cards !!! Not realy clued in on them but your first chioce seems the better one.. PSU == Antec series 2 , great psu cant go wrong !!! But if you are considering that sort of price range check out the OCZ Mod stream , on test's it beat the pants of any others in that range. For both perfomance and vlotage stability... Hope that helps IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT A8N-SLI Deluxe AMD X64 3500+ Wnchst Corsair 2x512 DDR400 Dual Channel GV-NX6600128D PCIX Graphics Card Ggbyte GT Pro CPU Cooler Zalman VF700-CU VGA Cool

Janos: Thanks for the quick reply. Looking into the OCZ ModStream it seems like newegg only sells single rail ones. I figured that it is better the have dual rails, (even if its two 19A over one 26A). But I don't really have much to back that up. Again thanks!
