My New PC any advice wanted!

[chrisrowlands]

I am in the process of buying new components for a gaming PC, to upgrade my current build. Below are the specs I am looking to buy:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ socket 939 Dual Core
DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR SKT939 - Retail Box
XFX GeForce 7900 GT XXX Edition 256MB
Hiper HPU-4K580-MK Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU
Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 10 NCQ 300GB 6V300F0 SATA-II 16MB Cache
Zalman CNPS7700-ALCU CPU Cooler
Thermaltake Dream Tower Series - Tsunami Aluminum Chassis
LG GSA-H10ABAL 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter x2
OcUK Value 2GB (2x1GB) PC3200 184pin DDR Memory Dual Channel Kit

I was wondering what you guys thought about this combination of components as I am still open to any changes, so if you feel I could spend a bit more and get a lot more performance or spend a bit less and still get the same I would greatly appreciate this advice. Another thing I was also wonder is that I recently saw some cheap RAM on eBay SAMSUNG 2GB PC3200 DDR 400Mhz RAM 2 GB 2X 1GB DIMM for £62 including delivery from America Samsung Memory Ebay Link and was wondering if it was just as good value as the OcUK stuff priced at nearly twice as much. I won't be doing an awful amount of overclocking but am looking for a PC that will last for a while and be capable of playing the most recent games.


Thanks For Your Time Guys

Chris

also you may want to have a look at the socket AM2 stuff, not much of a difference from the 939s but it would offer better upgradeability in the future and ddr2 support

Whats socket AM2? and what are the real benifits? which AM2 would you recommend getting?
