[Chiquitibum]

Prices from newegg.com. I might get the proc and mobo from a different place and get farcry, hl2 and 2 months of napster for free.

What do you think of these parts? any recommendations?

Nice. Solid core components. Very upgrade friendly with socket 939, mid-range AMD proc, and SLI.

No optical drives? Presumably you'll be going with the motherboard's embedded sound card? Speakers?


Anyway, I'd spend an extra $80 or so and get the Western Digital 75gb 10,000 RPM SATA 'Raptor'. You sound like a gamer, I'm sure you could use the better access times.

That would bring your rig up to about a grand.

I game CS mostly
I capture vids, ill get a haugpaug pvr 150mce from another site.

I already have a case, HSF p-90 thermaltake, and the DVD -+rw from my old PC. I got the Creative 5.1 speakers as well from the old pc and will be using embedded sound.

Ill look into that Raptor.

Thanks.

sounds great. I'm jeleous. That 64 bit athalon is sweet, we were using the 3.0Ghz ones with the 64 bit build of redhat at my last job
