Hey, I'm new to the forums. Been following hardware for a couple of years now but never had the money/time to make it a hobby. I have some cash now to build something to OC with, play with server OSes and fold now. I'm considering two deals.. both about $250 canadian. Let me know which one you think is for an OC beginner. I know all mobos get testy at times..

1.
AMD Athlon Sempron 2800+ - full retail package.
MSI NEO Platinum - NF3 250GB chipset
512mb pc3200 ram. (generic)
80gb sata hdd. (WD)
ATI 9100 64mb agp video card.

2.
ABIT NV8 Motherboard Athlon/Sempron 64 754 PCI-E
Sempron 64 2600+ Palermo Rev. E6
2x 512Mb Samsung PC3200
Sapphire X1300 "Enhanced" (450/700) 256Mb PCI-E


I know the second package is missing an hdd, but i figured i'd just sell off a dimm of the samsung to pay for a used hdd. Remember.. just some folding.. OCing and server play.

Thanks.. look forward to posting more
