|  suggestions for new cpu and motherboard? I'm upgrading my cpu and motherboard because it's pretty old and slow, probably along with it new memory since mine right now are pc2100 i think. I want my system to work well with the multimedia card I have right now (ATI 9600 XT). I'm looking for something to just boost the overall speed of my computer, gaming or otherwise. Thinking of a gigabyte K8NSC NVIDIA nforce3, and maybe AMD athlon 64 3000+ with corsair or OCZ 1GB (2 x 512MB) any suggestions and combinations would be awsome! I have: ATI 9600 XT two HDs: 40 Gb and 120 Gb dunno bout power supply if need to will get new one. thank you. |

| Sounds good. And I'd get the new PSU as well.

 | As said by Trotter, everything sounds good. You actually picked the mobo that I normailly recommend. I own the GA-K8NS Ultra, myself. I have determined it to be a wicked-awesome mobo. WHen deciding on RAM, make sure to read my RAM guide, which I believe is at the top of this forum. As for a PSU, 350W should be plenty.

| I'd say PC3200 RAM, and maybe a better power supply than 350 watt power supply. I'd personally go with a good 500 watt and use it for now and the future.
