that pc will be solid all around, but i suggest getting the 3700+ San Diego core for only $20 or $30 more, the extra 512k L2 cache will help a lot.

EDIT: additionally, i believe EPOX is a known bad motherboard manufacturer. i suggest an ASUS, ABIT, GIGABYTE, DFI or MSI of similar price, such as the ASUS A8N-E.

Yea- I originally had that one but ppl on some other Forums told me that i should go with the 3500+ and get a better mobo...And that's what I did because originally i had Mobo for 76 Dollars,...
I can't pay for the 3700+ because I'm already $70 dollars over my planned budget
Could you please specify the "big" difference between 512k L2 and 1Mb cache ??? How would it help me with when gaming and doin some basic tasks ?
