Hi everyone! I'm 17 and I've been putting this computer together for general use in my house (gaming, website design, instant messaging, possibly video/audio use). Anyways, can anyone help me out with anything if they don't think something belongs or if I need to change something. Before you look this over though, I had trouble deciding whether to go with a X2 3800+, 4000+, or a X2 4200+. The x2 3800+ and 4000+ were both lower prices but the x2 4200+ is another hundred bucks which I don't think I'll be allowed (with my budget, hehe). I could push for the x2 4200+ but only if you really, really, reeeeeeeally think I should put it in. I do use my computer a lot for multi-tasking a lot so I'm hoping to get a dual-cored processor. I should also mention I won't be doing a huge amount of OC'ing, maybe just a little bit but ANYWAYS, here's my specs:
-ThermalTake S Viking Mid-Tower Black w/ Side Window
-Seasonic® S12-500 500W ATX12V v.2.0 Power Supply (Retail Box) SHIPPED
-Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI w/ Dual-Ch DDR400
---AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz Dual Core Socket 939 512K L2 Cache
---AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz Dual Core Socket 939 512K L2 Cache
---AMD Athlon 64 4000+ / 2.4 GHz L2 1 MB - Box
-BFG GeForce7800GT OC 256MB
-Maxtor DiamondMax 10 160 GB - SATA-150 - 7200 rpm - 8 MB
-OCZ DDR Performance 1GB (2x512M) PC3700 466Mhz Dual Channel
-BenQ DVD+RW 16x Back, w/ LIGHTSCRIBE Technology (Dual Layer)
-Sony 1.44M floppy drive Beige/Black*
Are all these parts compatible? Should I go with the x2 3800+ then OC or just opt for the x2 4200+?
Thanks for your help!
