Can you elaborate on video card, memory, and power supply unit (if it's not the PSU that comes with the case)?

Ram is fine if it's PC3200, as is the PSU that comes in that case. Might want to think about 2 gigs of ram if you play BF2. Which exact GeForce?

Hi, I want my list to be looked at also, but I didn't want to start a new thread because I will be using my computer for basically the same thing: gaming (same games as him too). This is done on a budget, and I want to keep it at the same price. I took advice about getting name brands and such.
ASUS A8N5X Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard NEC 16X DVD±R DVD Burner Silver IDE Model ND-3550A Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3808110AS 80GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive Crucial Technology Ballistix 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model BL2KIT6464Z402 (I won't overclock, but it looks so sweet with it's heat spreaders and it's the same price as Corsair's Value Select for me, so why not, right?) Thermaltake TR2 W0070 ATX 430W Power Supply AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 2000MHz HT Socket 939 Processor Model ADA3700BNBOX eVGA 256-P2-N381 Geforce 6800XT 256MB DDR PCI Express x16 Video Card All comes from newegg. Already have case. Hard drive is small because I back all non-game related data to physical disks. Ordering this upcoming Wednesday. |

Binh, please start your own thread. It's easier to keep each person seperate.
Your build looks fine though. Don't forget Windows XP. You may want a larger PSU for upgrades later.

Your build looks fine in terms of compatibility.
