    Building my first RIG, need advice?

    Chewy, Looked up those mthrbrds, their both DDR2 800 standard, to put 2gb of ram in the system it will put me over the $ i want to allow. If I go with 1 gb how will that compare to the 667 5300 performance at 2 gb?

    Thanks Chewy I'll search those boards up at NEWEGG. The ram sounds like a good move as well. Any comments on the video card?

    Building my first RIG, need advice?

    If there's main comonents that I can spend more on for the better of the system then good, I'll just have to pull back on other stuff. So in my mind, the case(w/PSU), mthrbrd, ram,video, and CPU are the $$$ components. Anything else I'll make do with until I can upgrade. What do ya'll think?

    Guy's you'll have to dumb it down for me on the lingo... I know nothing of overclocking, and the board you just recommended... ? Trying to learn as I go on this too.

    Thanks for the advice on the board, I was wanting one with dual PCIX16 capability. Can anyone recommend a good motherboard with those same specs? I'll have to look into the CPU fan, thanks for the advice.

    Advice Thanks for the info guy's. DDR2 800 ram: I'll recheck the price. Overclocking: Not yet I think. (those performance #'s ????) One thing I've seen and heard is no Case comes with a reliable PSU. Why? I know it's a cost difference but it doesn't make since. Would I need a CPU...
