Just ordered the following:

Athlon 64 3200+
Sapphire X800GTO2
Corsair Value Select 2x512 PC3200
Asus A8N-E
Fortron 400W ATX-400PN (29A continuous on 12V)

I seem to remember some issues with the Corsair and some nforce4 boards, it wasn't the Asus was it?

Also, anything not listed will be recycled from old computer.

 
Thanks.

Total came out to about $780 CND.

Gonna reuse my Benq 1620, LG CD-RW, Maxtor 60Gig HD (next to be upgraded), Mitsubishi DP930SB and of course other little things.
 
it looks good. if you could've gotten your hands on an opteron that would've been nicer though 😛. did you consider the 6800gs when making your purchase?
 
I'm sure the Athlon will be fine for my overclocking needs - that is when I get around to it. I'll have my hands full with getting the GTO2 running as best I can. Also, the cheapest Opteron that was in stock at the time I ordered was about $130CND more than the Athlon. Granted it does have an advantage even at stock speeds.

Yes I did consider the 6800GS, and I probably would have got it if there were no GTO2's available. As long as I can clock the GTO2 up to atleast X800XT speeds, I'll have the raw power equal a 6800GS as well as the extra pipelines.
