I am not really stuck on any of these, any advice or recomendation is very welcome. Are there any compatability issues here?

 

[Scrat]

What are you planning on using the system for?? then we could advise better

 

[dunerider5]

Mostly internet, downloading music. Possibly gaming in the future, in which case I would pick up a decent video card. For now it will be a cheap one. Whats the bottleneck here?

 

[ripken2004]

how much money u working with here? i would get a socket 939 board

Have a look at the PSU 101, that PSU is junk.

 

[dunerider5]

Your right, I thought it was just the same as the black and red one... apparently not. Is THIS ONE better? Looks the same but more power. "+12@24A"

 

[Praetor]

Seems decent but again, read the PSU101 and you can make your own informed decisions

 

[dunerider5]

Ive read all the 101's, a few times! I just started learning about computers 2 weeks or so ago. In fact, I wish there was a 101 here for everything.

For the extra cash you would probably be a little more satisfied with a socket 939 board, as well as a retail processer rather than an OEM- just a reccomendation, but with processers, I prefer having a nice warranty.

What's your budget? It'd be a little easier to help if we knew that.

 

[dunerider5]

no specific budget, just trying to keep it down.

Theres a massive performance difference between a K7 based and K8 based system...
