What do you want to do with your system?

If money is no object then why socket 754 instead of socket 939?

True, I was going to say that, but I still wanted to know what he would be using it for, so next time your on Childsy, tell us and we will give input.

Look at the moment Im sitting on a AMD 1800xp so naturaly its time to upgrade. The reason I choose 754 socet was just because I found the chip I wanted then found a mobo to suit it. the socet type really didnt come into the equasion. But I really dont know the differance apart from 754 is older or something. Is there any differance? The Machine Im building will be mostly for gaming. Im looking to spend about $2000 australian. I know I cheaped out on the mobo and chip but I wanted to save money for the GPU and RAM

Your still going to want a decent CPU and a motherboard to use it. Get the 939 socket w/ an Athlon 64 3200 or up. Get a PCI-E x16 GPU like a 6800GS or something. And for RAM just go with Corsair ValueSelect. That would be a decent gaming system, much better then one with 754 CPU and a Sempron.
