i just had to bump up the thread.....it was getting down there pretty good.

Depending on how hard of an overclock your trying the stock CPU cooler will be enough.
Get this memory instead it's cheaper and has extended voltage warranty if you plan on pushing your memory hard.

Never knew you were willing to spend that much but the mushin PSU you suggested is much better then the one you have mentioned earlier, I don't like OCZ PSU's, not shy to admit it.
Sorry for the late responces, I have started university and it's a major priority right now.

thats fine...well i figured if i was going over budget that i would pick a bran that I trust. Im not planning on any OC'ing so i think the memory i had....the: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820146673 should be good....but how do i know that the timming is right?

PS i don't mind the late replys ....just so long as we get this figured out in less than 2 weeks lol

They are both very good memory, mine just came out to be 40$ cheaper (after mail in rebate) which is why I suggest it, also I should run stable at a lower voltage. Not much though.
Whatever memory you choose just be sure that the first thing you do is up the voltage to 2.1V, stock is 1.8V for DDR2 memory, failure to do so will likely result in crashes.

Before you buy anything can you post your final build so I can double check something.
I just noticed you have Home basic, you want the home premium version of vista. (32-bit)

FINAL BUILD PARTS:


Case: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811119137

HD: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822144701 (my friend is going to hook me up with a box and stuff so thats how were going to get around the teacher.....thats how i could afford the better PSU)

Mobo: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131175 plz check the timming

PSU: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817812002

Memory: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820146673 (notice the latency is only 4 and they are 800mhz sticks) :-}

PSU: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819103771 (one last question, my old computer was a P4 3.0 Ghz w/HT...how does this compare speed wise?)

OS: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16832116195

G-Card: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814161061


I already have 2 of these: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16827136118

and one of these: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835888309


ok so thats it for whats in my cart.

my old system:

Memory was DDR 333Mhz (512 x 512)

CPU: P4 3.0 Ghz w/ HT

G-card: ATI Radeon 9800 XT 256MB 256bit

HD: WD caviar SE 120GB windows XP Pro

how does my new system compare?


i was realy happy with the prefourmance of my old one but it again was 5 years old....how reliable would u say my new one is?


THanks somuch for your help.....you have been amazeingly nice and i realy apretiate all the work that you ahve put into this build. Thanks!

Against highly suggest home premium over home basic.
Your new CPU is the equivalent of a 5.6GHz pentium 4 (of course there isn't such a thing), but this is how AMD compared itself with the 5600+ rating, just like a 3800+ is the equivalent of a 3.8GHz or 3800MHz pentium 4.
You should be quite happy with your new processor when comparing it to your older one.
Comparing the two systems is like comparing a apple to an orange, you just can't.
Your motherboard and RAM will be fine, just be sure to up the voltages otherwise your rig won't be stable.
Good luck with the build
