Ditch the MSI Delt-ILSR (I have one and it has some bigggggg limitations) and swap that with an Abit NF7-S v2.0

nice choices otherwise. Do you have a 2nd optical drive already? Casue if not copying CD's(for back-up purposes of course) can be a pain if you have to copy from CD to HD and then back to a blank CD. Besides a 16X DVD drive is only like 30.00$ at the moment.

Just a computer junky

hey i got the MSI K7N2 Delta - L and it works great for me and i have a similar setup. except for ram and dvdrw. i went with 2700 to match my fsb on my processor but if ur gonna overclock it stick witht he 3200 i guess. i tried the maxtor dimamond max and had to return it and got the wd special edition w/ 8 mg cache. works like a dream.
