I wanted to buy myself a new gaming computer, so I did my researches and came up with that build :
Processor : AMD Athlon64 3500+ 2.2ghz (Venice)
Motherboard : A8N-SLI Deluxe Nvidia Nforce 4 SLI
Graphic card : Asus EN 7900GT 256Mb
Harddrive : WD Raptor 10k rpm 74 gig
RAM : Kingston HyperX DDR400 2x1024Mb dual channel
Powersupply : Antec TruePower 2.0 550w
DVD burner : Pioneer DVR-111 DVD RW+/RW-
DVD reader : LiteOn DVD-ROM 16X
I'd like to know if you found there was somekind of weakness in that build and how to correct it.
Also, I'd like to know if Kingston's 2x1024Mb DDR400 is better, weaker or on par with OCZ's?
Last question : if my goal is to have a strong enough processor so I wont have to change it before a good while (2 years +), would the 3500+ be enough or would I have to upgrade to 3800+ etc?
Thanks in advance for your precious output!
