Is This a good buy because Im on a budget

Thermaltake thougpower 700w
and 320gb seagate barracuda


But my old system Is am AMD3000-64,

This is why I only want to buy the memory, cpu and mobo

Im really on a budget could anyone tell me something that cost 600$ Memory, CPU and Mobo

Gotta be careful with RAM running over 1.9v with Intel boards. They are pretty touchy about that.

I have the D965LT and I'm using 1.9v G.Skill memory, with no issues, but my friend bought some OCZ 2GB kit, and it would not post at all. He had a variation of the 965 chipset board. Not sure what brand.

If the memory is 1.9v-2.2v, it might work. But even Intel's site says that 1.9v memory is needed.

Just an FYI.

The mobo is good. One of the better 975x boards for the Core 2. If you are looking for a drop in Quad board, you might want to check around, though. Not sure if it can take a Quad core.

It's up there along with the 680i, IMO, but if I had a choice, I'd definitely look at the nVidia 680i boards, or even the MSI Plat or ASUS P5W board, only for Quad compatiblity.
