I hadn't read much about that "Cool and Quiet" feature. I went with a Scythe Mine for $35 each. Maybe a wasted $70? Oh well, maybe if I do decide to test out the overclocking settings on my system, it'll come in handy. I stuck with the 1gb of Corsair. When I see a benchmark that shows 2gb...

I purchased a few Dynex 800VA UPSs a while back at Best Buy. They were a great deal at $40. I haven't done any thorough testing, but they work and they're still working. Here are the specifications: http://www.dynexproducts.com/pc-270-6-d...ector-with-battery-back-up-system.aspx After...

Ohhhhh. Well damn I don't know then. I was just going by Asus's motherboard specs and assumed DDR2-800 was the way to go. If it's actually just going to run at DDR2-667 then yeah I should get 667 instead, maybe even bump up to 2GB...

thanks for the suggestions 1) Not sure what you mean... It's the cheapest Corsair DDR2 800 RAM Newegg sells. It's CAS 5. 2) Aftermarket heatsink to reduce noise is main priority, if it keeps the CPU cooler, great. 3) AM2 to allow for future possible upgrade path.

Thanks for the suggestion I'll look into it.

Yeah I like the P150 and I've read great reviews but... Two Antec P150s would be $80 more and I've heard lots of compatibility problems with the Antec NeoHE 430W PS and the Asus motherboards.

I considered getting an OEM version of the 3800+ AM2 X2, but I don't see any 3800's less than about $160 and newegg's is $169 so no big difference I'm choosing the M2N-SLI for the integrated fireware.

$64.98 is total shipping cost for all the newegg parts, I just added it in one place on the spreadsheet. Wasn't planning on overclocking. I didn't see an evga for $140. The prices were very close on newegg for the 7600GT cards, with a few lower ones that had MIRs.

Yes, that is also accepted and encouraged. Thanks. :laugh:

Building two (for gf and me) new PC's for the first time since 1999. Been researching the parts for the past few weeks while waiting for the AMD price drop. Tried to build best two systems possible while using some parts I already have, for less than $2000. We're both currently using P3-700...

Would you please provide some type of reference? $146 for a Conroe? Where?
