Final Choice of system

The mobo is one of the best, if not the best !
The ram, i dunno


Toms Hardware Site is a joke !
Looks like intel spent more on bribing reviewers to cover up it aint that great than they did in R&D, you know what im talking about Tom !

Tou probably meant MSI K8N Neo<b>2</b> Platinum. The K8N Neo is for Socket754 CPU!

A7N8X / <font color=green><b>AMD Sempron 2800+</b></font color=green>
Kingston DDR333 2x256Megs
<font color=red>Radeon 8500 128Megs</font color=red> @ C:275/M:290

Get a Corsair XMS 3200 if possible, less conflicting problems.

AMD A64 3200+ (2.2GHz Newcastle)
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
1GB Corsair DDR400 ValueSelect (CL2.5)
R9600Pro @ 500mhz Core, 340mhz Memory

>I think I have nailed down my purchase:

I'd start all over again.. Seriously, why not a Pentium 4 ? Whats wrong with an ATI X800 ? Why MSI when ASUS and ABIT offer such nice motherboards ?

He's getting the exact same ram as me and I have no conflicting problems.

AMD 64 3400+
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
1 GB Kingston HyperX PC3200
ATI AIW 9600XT
WD Raptor 74GB

great choice for a system and if you shop around its hands down the best performance for the money (besides the ram, id go with crucial ballistix, great a64 performance and a good price; 2-2-2-5 to boot!) you should easily be able to oc both the proc and your 6800gt to the speeds of their higher priced counterparts. but what about hdd? best choice: go for two raptors in raid 0, they'll scream through bootup and app loads. (if you need more storage later, jsut add a third, theyll run even faster in a 3 drive array!)
enjoy ur system.

-I'm Laughing At It Now-

You think Abit makes nicer mobos than MSI? I've never owned either, but I want to buy an MSI to get away from ECS and Gigabyte.

P.S. Asus boards are a rip-off.

Obviously I should have added sarcasm tags for you
