First of all, I think jackpot should STFU, because obviously jm_007 knows wtf he is talking about.  Oh yea, jackpot, STFU means Shut The Fuck Up, and WTF means What The Fuck, since you didn't know what "double-pumping" meant.  Anyhow, as far as DVD burners go, I think the sony is ok, but if you want a high quality burnere whether CD or DVD burner, go with a Plextor.  Although they may cost more, they are much better and personally I would wait and save up.  Same thing goes for the motherboard, if you waited, the onboard audio for a newer nVidia based motherboard will more than likely be good enough, their nForce 2 chipest had pretty nice quality audio.  I dont know alot about ATI brand video cards, but if you are planning on playing many games, and dont want to spend a ton of money, check this out.

But, if you are not going to play any games, then any g-card will work fine.  Even a TNT2 lol.  Good Luck With The Computer

Relax everyone! I'm sorry i'm out of the loop with this whole "double pumping" thing. I just thought it's always been DDR - double data rate. No kid phrases.

Also, KingViper, do your research, pioneer is the obvious choice here with a DVD burner. And DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc.

Everyone needs to take it easy. I'm not attacking anyone. Why are you taking it so personal?? This is just a forum to speak our minds and that's what i'm doing. I find it funny how upset everyone is getting over computer parts!

Anyways, I understand the reference "double", i've just never heard "double pumping" when refering to DDR RAM. And bollox?? Where do people come up with this stuff?!

And finally, it looks like it ISN'T the dog's bollox after all. Or is this what you're talking about?

Did you check out that dog's bollox? They are actually pretty good! Thanks for the tip. I'm glad you and your friends have nothing better to do than giggle at forum posts all day.

And if you had read the thread I linked, it turned into a thread about which burner was the best. When I post something and you decide to talk about it, read it.

And what country are you from? In America, we don't say dog's bollox. That's why I don't know that simplest term.

I'm not bitching, I'm having fun. Sounds like you are bitching.

Actually no I did not get my questions answered.

I will post it again. And please answer, don't get into another menial debate like who's dick is bigger or whatever you kids want to argue about.  biggrin.gif

OK, back to the subject.

Wow I did not see this thread becoming a debate. LOL.

I am trying to get the cheapest prices I can, but without skimping, if there is such a thing. I also want to make sure that all the components are compatible. As to the Power Supply I want to get a good one but $50 is a bit too much for me.

I don't play on my PC as much as I do on my Xbox, actually I don't remember the last time I played on my PC, I just think it's a hassle.

Anyways This is What I'm getting from New Egg, and I believe all components are compatible. Let me know what you guys think of this.

Thats a no on the ram - it's the AMD fx's that use EEC ram, not the a64's.

Wrong, it just needs to be registered. All ECC RAM is registered but not necessarily all registered RAM is ECC. Or just wait for the 939 boards, no registered RAM necessary.

And I do agree with the Antec, it works for me.

The Allied PSU will be fine, I have a Allied 450W and the rails are awesome. My uncle uses a Allied 400W in his 2400+ system with no problems.

Why no on the ram? That is the RAM that is compatible with that board. According to the manufaturers site there are only specific models that are compatible. I just want to make sure it works.

Are you sure the one you suggested will work with the board?

I guess no one caught this.. If you go OEM, you'll need a heatsink/fan. It will cost $20+ for a good, AMD approved one..

Why not spend the extra $13 for the Retail box (with Heatsink/Fan, and a sticker!):
http://www.newegg.co...-103-424&depa=0

I've been trying to figure out what OEM means and noone has answered my question.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I will get that one instead of the OEM.

What about the OEM SATA drive? Is that OK?
