Asus EN6600GT PCI-E
Athlon 64 3000+ Venice
DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-DR

Total: $561.71 US (684.05 CAD)

Combined with what I have from my current system:

Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu
Sparkle 400W PSU
Kingston HyperX PC2700 512MB

How does that sound?

Well faster ram would be nice, and more of it if your going to be gaming, and maybe get a more powerfull psu depending on how many other components you have.

If that's the older 2-2-2-5 rated HyperX it sjould be BH5 so I would figure you have a lot of headroom there, but yes, 512mb is not going to get you too far. The rest of the gear looks fine. Good luck.

Something like this should serve you well. Are you planning on buying another 6600GT in the future? If not than perhaps the X800?. It's a good deal faster and only a tad more money
