AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Processor (Venice) Socket 939
AMD Socket 939 Processor Motherboard GA-K8N51GMF-9
2x 512MB DDR400 PC3200 RAM
Maxter 200GB (non-sata) HDD <- could that be a problem seeing as my motherboard supports SATA or is it just not utilizing it?

I'm really not too sure about the whole fan/heat sink situation. I didn't put anything inbetween. There's some sort of plastic cusion it looks like over the silver square grid on the heatsink. Do I need to put something extra inbetween? I hope not.. that thing was hard to get on..
