Hi everyone

I'm about to change my current computer:

P4 Prescott 3.0GHz 775
1Go Samsung
6600GT AGP

To probably something like this :

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Dual Core Processor Socket AM2
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe ATX AM2 Nforce 590 SLI
EVGA E-GEFORCE 7900 GT CO Superclocked X 2 (SLI)
Zalman VF900-CU Copper Dual Heatpipe X 2
CNPS9500-AM2
Plextor PX-716SA DVD+-RW 16X8X16X Dual LAYER
OCZ GX XTC PC2-5400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2
Antec PlusView II
Antec True Power 2.0 550W ATX12V V2.0 SLI

Any recommandation, specially for CPU and videocards?

Thanks in advance

Sounds ok, except the RAM. The AM2 processors, really do need to run

the RAM @ DDR 800, so i would suggest you shoot for some PC6400.

GL

PS... Plextor DO make the best optical drives, but, they are alot more
expensive then the rest, Most of the other manufacturers drive are
quiet sufficient.

They're good, but that Antec is an awesome
PSU, i would stick with that.

Wait a month and a half to see what happens with Conroe. If you can't wait that long, get a board with the 975 chipset and some nice DDR2 RAM, along with a cheapo Celeron just to hold you over. You might also want to wait for the DX10 video cards to come out.
