I spen alot of time selecting these parts to match with my budget. If you know any problems with the compatibility of these parts, or see a better part for around the same price, please say so. Heres my future computer:

ASUS A8N-E PROACTIVE S939 MOTHERBOARD

AMD ATHLON 64 3500 S939 PROCESSOR

OCZ Performance 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM x 2 (1 gig of ram)

Antec Performance I P160 Silver Case

Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V 550W Power Supply

LITE-ON Black IDE DVD Burner Model (dvd rw)

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 ST380817AS 80GB 7200 RPM

ZALMAN ZM-OP1 80mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan

THERMALTAKE A1280 120mm Ball Cooling Fan

ATI X800XL = $349 before shipping (from ATI's trade up program)

Thanks...Also, what do you think of it?

im pretty sure you can find the x800xl for a bit cheaper than 350. just check newegg.com it may not be an ATI but that doesn't mean that it will be not as good as the ATI or something. give it a look-see. hope this helps.

Forgot to mention its in canadian dollers. Reguler its around $400

Yeah.. I have given the ATI Trade-Up program before. It doesnt seem to be worth it. A new X800XL from Newegg is just around $300(USD). Instead, I think that if you take some good pictures, and give a nice description for your current video card on ebay, you should be able to sell it for more than what ATI offers from its trade up program.

But besides that, everything looks ok to me. Im not a hardware expert, but it looks good. Have fun!

Great Case and power supply, I have them both. The other components seem pretty l33t too. GL sounds like a nice system.
