Im currently trying to build a decent gaming computer. I looked around and i found what I think to be a decent setup for a computer. I wanted to run it through you guys to see what you think. here is the setup:

ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

BFG Tech BFGR78256GTXOC Geforce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester Integrated into Chip FSB Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3200BIBOX - Retail

CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model VS1GBKIT400 - Retail

What i want to know is, is this all compatible together, and will it make a decent gaming computer. It has been a while since i built the one that im using and its kind of going.... shall we say..... dull..... thx in advance for all your help guys.

P.S. Yes, i know the Geforce 7800GTX is a little overkill... but isn't that what we gamers like ;-) a little bit of overkill :-D

Sounds like a great system. Make sure you cool everything as much as possible.

hmmm u know lol i think'll my 2 case fans aint quite enough u know 4 real lol

by **VampBlades** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 8:42 pm

im keeping my old harddrive but i want to add a little bit more to it :-P . I have about 3 case fans but im also NOT overclocking anything. lol.

Do you still think it will overheat? i keep the wires bound up and I keep it in a nice open space and always monitor the temp.

P.S. im getting it all for $999.99 on www.newegg.com

AMD's just run very hot. That and then add a high end video that runs hot spells heat issue. I keep the side off of mine. May not look pretty but it gets the job done.
