Ok so im hearing lots of stuff about this new AM2 and Conroe, but i really dont think i need that since all i'm doing is playing some good PC games (Half Life 2, Doom 3, etc) and i dont think i will need things like those. I personally don't think that there are any programs right now to really take advantage of that stuff.

I am getting that PC on June 4th, i am just wondering, will this PC last me a good 4 Years? i figure that since it uses Socket 939, when the current processor gets really bad, the AMD FX 62 will be cheap by then and i can just pop out the old one and pop that one in. (and by then it should be pretty cheap) so im just asking, should i buy this computer now? I think its a really good value, since im getting it for roughly 700
PS: I have another question, What budget video card would i need to get to turn this pc into a moderate/high level gaming machine? thanks in advanced. Also, im new to the forumz here so be nice!
