know I hate these threads too but I just got my check for 1250$ :]

So I want to order my parts tonight.. this is my new rig cuz my old one blew up. I want it to be a A64 3500+ Venice Overclock with 2GB of ram.. and when it comes out the R520

heres what i think im ordering tonight

3500+ A64 venice core /w XP-120 to cool it

DFI Lanparty UT nf4 Ultra-D http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813136152

this memory http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80097-55 how well does it do with the DFI board?

and the cheapest 6800GT I can find cuz I'm just going to sell it in a month

also I'm looking for a fairly good case for crossfire it doesn't need a PSU any ideas?

So thats pretty much it I have everything else..
thanks in advance :)
 
Don't waste your money on a 3500+. The 3000+ will overclock just as well and be much cheaper.
 
Yep, either a 3000+/3200+ or 3700+. If you'll be OCing, then go for the 3000+ or 3200+. If not much OC, get the 3700+.

Also, I heard a few problems with Corsair ram and DFI. So maybe look at the OCZ 2GB Platinum.

Well, since your getting 2GB, you might be doing some multitasking, so maybe go for the dual cores or 3700+?

Also, if your planning to upgrade video card in a month, just save up and use onboard graphics. You'll lose some money by buying the 6800GT and reselling it again. Onboard graphics may be bad for gaming, but right when you get the new ATI card, you'll quickly notice how big of a difference a good video card will make and appreciate it much much more =).
