Thanks.. you sure the ABIT mobo will work with a 64 processor?

And yes.. I have lots of money thats gonna be wasted anyway.. might as well invest it.. I want the best of everything.. even if I decide to get a little cheaper.. I still would like to know the best of all

opps, didnt see the A64 part

edited mobo

 

[EnderNine]

I just checked a website for the Abit mobo.. it only works with socket 754(Athlon 64 3200+).. not socket 940(51-FX).. am I wrong.. or will that not work?

its been a long day

the one i listed is now socket 940

i would lean towards the asus.

although they are both quality boards, asus (and abit) are usually on the cutting edge of mobos but gigabyte isnt far behind

 

[EnderNine]

Im still accepting help with the parts.. I wouldnt mind having more then 1 persons opinion..

Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
2GB of Corsair XMS PC3200
ATI Radeon 9800XT
2 X 73GB 10KRPM WD Raptors in raid 0 for games
1 X 250GB WD Caviar For Storage
Plextor PX-708A 8XDVD-RW
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Antec TruePower 550W PSU
Arctic Silver 5
FunC Mousepad
Windows XP Pro
Zalman CNPS7000-Cu Heatsink/Fan
Klipsch Promedia 5.1 ULTRA

I dont know what that all costs, but you cant do better then that.

Thanks gary.. Ill probably get 4x Raptors because I already have a file server.

Not sure about that monitor.. I was thinking the Dell 20 inch.. dont really need that much space anyway.

And lastly.. im going to get a Athlon 51-FX.. and my computer is going to be watercooled..(Yeah I know how to do it.. ill be careful
