1 vs. 2

right now im at 50/50 between the amd 3500+ build i posted and rambo's build 2 revision

Well it's your choice, but I'd seriously consider waiting.
Also, the Antec Sonata II case is a nice case with a decent PSU that has 32A on the 12v rail.

well if i decide to get the 3500+, i would only save 10 bucks if i waited.

Hmm, but it's also $100...

 

[m0nk3ys1ms]

the mobo for the 3500+ is out of stock

 

[m0nk3ys1ms]

i think i might try and find an oem mobo to save some cash

what im leaning towards as of now:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+

ASUS A8N5X

CORSAIR 1GB

Why don't you look for Dual-Channel Kits, instead of a 1 GB RAM Stick?

 

[m0nk3ys1ms]

such as this

Corsair 2x512MB dual channel kit

such as this

Corsair 2x512MB dual channel kit

That would be better.

These "kits" for dual channel mode is just marketing. Get whatever is cheapest, a kit or the two modules separate doesnt matter.

i went with build 2, but with different memory. i also added a 7600GS
