thanks for the quickness of the replies guys.. caps gone Gage!! sorry-- whats the difference between asus and msi products? I noticed that pcworld rates asus products as their top mobos. And when it comes to gpus they rate the evgas as the best value cards. So can u guys specify which am2 mobo and which am2 gpu (sli of course) is a better choice??

plus.. if i get am2 i need to get the athlon x2 4200 right???? is this a good cpu and can i overclock it without knowing much about oc'ing??? If i do so, what kind of heatsink and cooling devices will i need>???

Thanks again all!!
