My first build...what'cha think?

[tbest08]

This was my first build. I'm really happy with it, but I guess I'd like some input from someone who knows probably more than I do.

Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Brisbane 2.1GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core
P.Supply: Sunbeam PSU-BKS580-US ATX 580W
Hard Drive: SAMSUNG SpinPoint P Series SP2004C 200GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
Vid. Card: XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI
Motherboard: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX
x2 (4gigs total) Ram: Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel

I put this together for just about $600. Any suggestions on how to improve? Only thing I wanna do for sure is get a 3.0+GHz processor, and possibly run SLI w/ my vid card, or would i be better off just getting the 8800GT? Constructive criticism please, remember, this is my first build .

sounds good to me... but i think you would be better off getting the 8800GT, and later on when u have more money run sli w/ the 8800gt

Drop that extra 2GB and get a 8800GS.

 

[tbest08]

is it worth the extra money to buy the 8800GTX? or will I be better off saving money and just running 2 8800GT's?

Don't go for 8800GTX. 9800GTX have out now.

One review stated that his SLI'd 8800GTS G92's seemed faster. Might wanna check that out.
