Yep. Too much work for us, pls redo.

You will need a CPU HS, it doesn't come with one, get a good one, don't scrimp here.

You will need a quality air cooled case too. And older one with 2 80 MM fans will not be enough. I suggest at least 3 120mm fans built into the case.

A better CPU option:
- Opteron 1210
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819105219
Since it has 2Mb L2 (vs 1Mb L2) cache and is cheaper!! Overclocks from 1.8Ghz to 3.0Ghz with a decent cooler.

 

I have recommended that deal to my flatmate (which he is going for).

If your going to spend that much on a vid card, get better ram and a decent PSU.

+1 Its not worth spending more than:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819116052
on an AMD CPU since the Intel Pentium will give it a run for its money. A proper C2D (with full cache) will eat it alive!!

Hence my suggestion of the AMD Opteron 1210 which is a good performer for the price.

Personally I think you would be better off with:

... for the AMD route

Newegg seems to be a lot cheaper than that Tiger Direct place...

In my experience the cheap Ultra powersupplies are not very reliable. Ultra X3 are very nicely built (but v. expensive)!!
