Well..After about two question threads...and probably an hour of talking with a couple of people and I've put this list together.

Mobo: Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

RAM: Newegg.com - Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Ok..And now I've got a different person I have contact with telling me these parts are better than the ones I have up there:

GFX: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100176L Radeon X1950PRO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

PSU: Newegg.com - COOLMAX CP-500T EPS12V 500W Power Supply 115/230 V UL, CSA, TUV - Retail

RAM: Newegg.com - A-DATA Extreme Edition 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

It'd be great if someone can tell me which is better.

Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
Get these instead, after MIR should be cheaper then the Patriots.

Everything looks great, stick with your build. Don't buy those parts that the person contacted you with.

Oh alright, nice find..I'll keep those in mind.

[mikee]

do you plan on playing any directx 10 games? If so I'd recommend atleast a 8600GT but if not the 7900gs will be alright

[Evolocity4]

Well I was talking about that with the two people and they said that playing DX9 games on a dx10 card would lower performance some? or something like that...

[mikee]

I think dx9 games run very good on my card (see sig) havn't tried any directx 10 games yet though

[Evolocity4]

Hmm ill have to ask again then...Thanks for your comment.

ya.. it'll run low or medium settings.. but not anywhere near maxed out... but my point is.. why get a DX10 card that has the eye candy.. if u have to drop the settings to play with the eye candy....
