looks like a damn fine place to start if you ask me ;)

I'll second Kunaak's opinion, good choices should serve you well!

Looks good just make sure the memory you buy is BH5 otherwise you will very likely be stuck in the 250-255fsb range, its a known issue with CH5.

How to do u kno if its BH5?

[sandman]

Well, some are Bh-5 and some aren't. I think your is going to be Ch-5.

If you have a bit of extra money I'd suggest going with an A64, but if you're strapped for cash it'll be a nice setup.

without phsically pulling the heatspreaders you can only go by performance, or advertised specs.

that's a great setup m8. i currently have a 2.4b 533fsb chip and i think this is good enough for most games, however i think a 3.2 HT 800fsb chip is needed for serious mpeg4 , video encoding and divx apps.

but if i'm on a budget of $1500 i cant really go with the 3.2

i second that motion, make sure you get BH-5, and you will have a great system
