Haven't put together a new system in like 2? or 3? years I forget, so I need to know if there are any problems with this setup: (like I picked incompatible parts, or they have little known problems with eachother, or what.)

Newegg links:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice Integrated into Chip FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3200BPBOX - Retail

OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model OCZ4001024ELDCPER2-K - Retail

ATI 100-435500 Radeon X800XL 256MB GDDR3 PCI-Express x16 Video Card - OEM

Antec PERFORMANCE TX1088AMG Gray Steel Server Computer Case 480W Power Supply - Retail

Intention was to have a motherboard with good upgradability(but I dont know that much about what is coming up in future)
Would probably get SLI when next gen cards drop alot in price.

Priority is gaming, but budget is a definate concern, good stable overclocking with aircooling would be a plus :)

Any problems, suggestions, stuff I should change?

Thanks.

or a zalman. get a dfi ultra d as they (obviously like above) very nice. sli is kinda useless, most games can't benefit the doubled power anyway. g70 > sli.
