I am going to build my first comp soon and I am having a bit of trouble deciding on which CPU to use. All I am likely to sue this comp for is gaming, net surfing and music/movie playing. I don't know much about overclocking so that isn't a big issue...but i may consider it in the future. Right now i have a P4 2.8 with the 800 mhz bus slotted in. I hear the Athlon 64's are really good for gaming and in the THG article they seem to beat the P4's in the gaming benchmarks in all the tests except the directX 9 one.
This is the whole list of parts I have put together off of NewEgg. I would welcome any feedback on it.
