    Some computer parts I want opinions on....

    Ok here are some parts I will be getting very soon. I would just like some opinions on. I really only need help with the mobo, ram, gpx card and cpu. The rest I can take care of. I dont have much money to spend. This is probally my max on these items.
    SAPPHIRE Radeon X800PRO 256MB --$254.00
    CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) Ram --$132.20
    DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D --$132.00
    AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester --$195.00
    Total: $708.20 Without Shipping

    EDIT: Changed X800 to X800PRO

    All of the parts are good, but I would recommend getting 2 gigs of ram and a x800 XL

      Believe me. If I had the money I would get 2 Gigs as well. As for the X800XL, the best I could probally do is an X800PRO.

            go with a x800 pro , the ram is fine.

            I would get a 3500+ but it is up to you!

            Nice setup!

                    You will definitely be glad you have 2 gigs o memory.
                    At least go for that. But if ya aint got the $....

                      Personally I'd go for the 6800GT over the X800 PRO. It runs opengl games much better and is equal if not a small amount better on every other level. PLus it's got shader model 3 which the X800 doesn't so for future games and in particular Unreal Engine 3 games (which we should all be excited about) it has the edge.

                      I'd also go for the 3000+ CPU and overlclock it to a 3800+. This will save you some cash.

                      Get 2 Gigs of RAM if you can afford it.
