Hey before I go out and buy all this stuff for my new computer I wanted to make sure it would all work together. So if you could tell me if this is all compadible that would be great and also if you have any recommendations to make it better that would be good too.

Stuff I plan on getting:
Motherboard – CHAINTECH VNF4/Ultra Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD

CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 1GHz

RAM – Kingston 512MB or Corsair1GB

Case - ASPIRE ATXB2KL-AL/420 Computer Case

Hard Drive - Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600JS 160GB

Video Card – NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420

Sound Card – None(built into motherboard)

CD-ROM – DVD drive and CD-RW drive

Speakers – Creative

Monitor – Gateway VX900

Things without links I already own.

Thanks
 
If anyone could recommend me a motherboard and CPU combo that works with my vid. card that would be very helpful. I'm looking for a AMD 3200+ processor.

Thanks

I'd like to keep the video card I already have.

For memory I believe this will work?
CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM System Memory

and for the mobo maybe this one?
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 ATX AMD Motherboard

with the same processor:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3500BPBOX

Thanks Praetor, if it wasn't for you I probably would have bought the original stuff and it wouldn't even have worked together lol.
 
1. The new RAM will work
2. The ASRock mobo i would reccomend you avoid like the plague. Stability and performance are not ASRock's strenghts
3. Something like the ASUS A8V DLX [115USD] will allow you to use yer AGP card
