I heard a rumor that AMD will release AM3 soon. As for that CPU, its too slow for that setup IMO. and 90nm Windsor chips are bad for overclocking. get a 65nm Brisbane. Or if you want to future-proof it, get a core-2-duo (sorry AMD, I still love you though) and overclock it. Memory, unless your gonna get 2+ of those sticks, get 2+ 512s for dual channel LG burners are great, they arent crap IMO. But get a SATA drive, IDE is last year's news! If you want to save some more bones, buy the normal stock Vidcard and overclock yourself. I mean +20mhz factory overclock? THE FU€K!!
