Medium budget Computer Build

[leon75]

I need a new computer right away as my current one of three years is having overheating issues. I could fix the overheating issue but it's about time I bought a new comp anyways. Anyways heres my current buy list.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 (939) 3700+ 1MB San Diego - $214.00
MB: EPoX nForce4 Ultra (939) EP-9NPA+Ultra - $101.00
VIDEO: eVGA GeForce 7800GT CO 256MB - $314.00
RAM: OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Platinum - $195.00
HD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s - $110.00
CASE: Antec Performance I P180 Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower - $125.00
PSU: FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX500-A, 500W - $91.00
SOUND CARD: Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music - $110.00
KEYBOARD: Logitech G15 - $72.00
HSF: ARCTIC COOLING AVC-NV5R3 NV Silencer Rev.3 - $29.00
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro Cooling Fan with Heatsink - $34.99
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - $5.99

Total Cost = $1402.00

Anything I don't need or replace with something better? I plan to use the comp for another 3-5 years and I don't overclock. I will be using it mainly for 3D gaming.

Looks good!

Not bad, but I fail to see the need for a new, $72 keyboard. Nor do you need expensive RAM if you're not overclocking, although that price is not too bad.

what about the mouse

also if your not overclocking get value ram and get an upgraded version
of the processor.

Thanks for the suggestions. The keyboard is a purely luxury item as I already have a basic keyboard and MX-510 mouse.

Will I not see a difference between low latency ram and value ram? The ram listed above is I believe 2.3.2.5 latency.

Also which processor would you recommend? I had looked into dual core but I think for my purposes and budget, I'm better off sticking with a single cpu.

all good but you could stick with value ram and cut back on some cooling/KB expense. stock isn't bad, especially if you don't plan on OCing
