well your gonna have problem with Motherboard and Processor. You picked out a AM2 socket processor and a socket 939 motherboard, wont work. Either switch the processor or select another motherboard. If your gonna stick to a AM2 processor go with a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 65W Windsor. The price difference from the 3800 and 4200 is like $20-$30.
