Finally bought my system tonight

[SaberDicer]

Here it is

AMD 3500+ Winchester
Chaintech nForce4 VNF4/Ultra
Asus X800 XT PCI-E
OCZ EL Platinum Rev2 PC-3200
NEC 3500A
Antec 480w PSU
Seagate 200gig HD
Zalman 7000B Cu Cooler
Black Coolermaster Wavemaster

I ended up paying way way to much for the graphics card, its embarssing to say, but hopefully I'll be able to get 3-4 hundred for it by the time Fudo comes out.

I'd like to thank all the people at Anand Tech, who helped me with the process whether they know it or not, you guys are great.

whats the point of an SLI board and a non-SLI video card, especially when the card costs a arm and a leg?

The board is not SLI--it's the new $120 NF4U board with one PCIe x16 slot.

I give you a 9/10. The RAM might have been overkill--see Zebo's thread in CPU/OC for details.

Seriously, you could have paid a bit less for motherboard, unless you are considering buying a couple 6800's...:Q

Wow nice setup. It looks like you did your research well

My bad, I didn't look at the board name carefully. Sorry

 

[ts3433]

Linkage Most boards for S939 are around that price anyway--yeah, he could have paid a bit less, but it would have been an NF3 or K8T800 Pro with AGP.

i could have sworn that mobo was SLI, guess not 😱

Well I figured If I wanted to sell the card in a few months and upgrade, a PCI-E card would holds it's value better than the AGP counterpart, too bad I only have one kidney left now though.
