Just need extra eyes to be sure...

Hello all, and thank you. This is my first box, and I'm kinda sure the parts are compatible, but I don't want to lay down a grand unless I'm dead certain. It would be a great help if I had some extra eyes that know more than me to look over these parts. It would also be nice to see if I'm going a little overboard on some of the parts. As long as it can run the Daz studio programs, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and its worldbuilder, World of Warcraft,etc., without significant lag, I'll be happy. I'm hooking two monitors to it, if that helps any. I've got about $USD 1000 for parts, and I already have a case, HDD, and optical drives. I plan on installing XP as well. I tried to future-proof this thing by about 3 years.

Any comments are welcome.

ill just say. maybe AMD isnt the right choice at the moment. consider something else. i wont say what. but the people here sure will tell u better than me.

@ Pedro: I totally didn't realize I picked out 533. I went with the tagan, first because one of my birthday gifts are $100 off any part I want, courtesy of my friends; second, I'm interested in the whole multiple rail thing, what's your take on it? Third, eeeeeeeeet's shiiiiiiiiiiny. Maybe 800w is overkill - I'll look at the 600w ones.

@night_wolf & hardline:
I am a rabid AMD fanboy. I remember my mother helping me install my first K6; fond memories.

Agreed, but if he wants to be nostalgic who's to say no.

Given that you've decided on AMD, it looks like you've made the changes I might have suggested. The 780G boards are apparently not compatible with the 9850BE because they can't provide enough juice, and smoke. I don't have the link, but the article is on anandtech.com. You've also corrected the memory to something considerably faster.
As far as the PSU, I think you'll be happy as long as you've chosen one from tier-3 or better from this (admittedly a little dated) list: http://www.tomswiki.com/page/Tiere [...] gs?t=anon. A 550W unit such the one suggested by San Pedro would be sufficient.
I do think you'd get a better system if you went with Intel, but that doesn't mean you won't be happy with AMD. The GPU will matter more for your games, so I'll agree on the 8800GT.

I would recomend this PSU,

And a biostar Motherboard? I would go with a better brand like Gigabyte or asus.

^I wouldn't go with that PSU since it is some what of a no-name brand.

I second him on no BIOSTAR motherboard. I had 2 BIOSTAR boards die on me a long time back (~3-4years). Since then I have switched to ASUS and Gigabyte and had used over 40+ boards from those manufactures and have yet need to have one die on me. Agreed on the PP&C 610 on quality. Still it's an over kill. Try to get a Corsair 450/550VX.

^Good PSU. Gets my recommendation.
