This bundle worth it?

How does this bundle from mwave look? I want FarCry, but dont have the money to buy a 6800 quite yet. The debate is whether I should pay the extra money to ensure getting the Clawhammer or Newcastle core, though I'm not sure which is better, assuming I get the 3000+. Speaking of, how much do you all rate the 3200+ over the 3000+? Is it worth the extra $45? Also, would it be a good idea to just get 1 Gb of Crucial or Kingston 3200 in the same bundle? or should I buy something else separately?

I hope this isnt a repost. I'm sorry if it is. I searched and didnt find it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That looks like a damn good deal. About $25 cheaper than Newegg. I'd go with the 3000+. Those RAM prices are pretty good too, so you might as well get it all together.

So... how does basic Crucial RAM compare with basic Mushkin and basic Kingston on an A64 3000+ or 3200+ and VNF3-250?

Also, any help on the bundle would still be appreciated.

how does that 5 bucks thing work? i'd be interested, i kinda want the 3200+ over the 3000+....



comes out to 292 for me...

i was going to hop on that newegg combo, but this looks a lot better...25 bucks less! woot. but the 3000+/msi k8t neofsr combo for 238 is might tempting...

this looks like a great deal...and u can choose from a large list of mother boards and cpus....are products from mwave retail...cuz this will be my first build and i think i may need the help of a manual and other things...and i prefer not to put my own heatsink on becuz i believe it voids waranty....is this true? and how hard is it to install a heatsink and how much would a good one cost me?

thanks for help and thanks for bringing this deal to my attention!
