I would go with socket 939

i was thinking of 939 but i really love the DFI mobo. the selection isnt that great for the time being. also, this would be used for a backup system so highest performance isnt absolutely necessary

looks good to me. there is some infineon memory on sale over in Hot deals for the same price as the Corsair, and probably better. the powere supply is a lot. I don't think the audio on the creative is that much better than the onboard audio.

Looks good to me too. S754 is a bargain right now.

get urself a mobile CPU, they have TWICE the Cache and CO way better

isnt the Audigy 2 value just an audigy 2 thats just packaged differently?

i will look into the infineon

as for the PSU, i know its overkill but its the cheapest sleeved PSU, too lazy to sleeve it myself 😛

It looks like a pretty decent mid-high range rig. I myself would get something similiar except a FX 55 an a nForce4 when both are good priced.
