[o00JONESY00o]

I'm building my first PC and I want you to tell me if you see any problems with this setup before I start buying.

Antec Performance I P-160W Silver Computer Case w/ Side Panel Window (I'm replacing stock fan and adding another with Aspire CF12SL-UBL 120mm Blue LED Light Cooling Fans, I here the stock one burns out fast)

Antec TrueBlue TPII-480 Blue 480W Power Supply

ASUS P5ND2-SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Pentium D 930 800MHz FSB 2x2MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Dual Core Processor

OCZ Gold Series 2GB (2x1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit System Memory

Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 3.5" SATA 300 MB/S Hard Drive

Sapphire Radeon X1600PRO 100144L Video Card

Lite-on 16X DVD±R DVD Burner W/LightScribe and 5X DVD-RAM Write Black ATAPI/E-IDE Model SHM-165H6S

That looks fine to me.

The only thing I suggest is picking up DDR2-533. Anything higher is overkill if you aren't planning to overclock.

If you ask me, I would take antec's led fans over aspires anyday, they make some of the best. And fans last a long time, you will be replacing computer parts way faster then fans, but its up to you.

And is there a reason for buying a sli mobo but buyin a ati card? Just sayin, if you ever plan to go sli, you will need a nVidia card, if I were you I would go ahead and start out with one. Otherwise everything looks great.

I was looking at the same MB/Processor setup, but according to ASUS' site, the P5ND2-SLI does not support 65nm technology.

[Mr.Ferrari]

Oh I just noticed the mobo, btw never buy a nForce or other chipset for a Intel build, they are fine for amd but for intel they have been having alot of problems. Heat, corruption, no oc potential. If I were you I would stick to a intel chipset. Get a i945 or above for support of dual core and cedar mill.

The P5LD2 and P5WD2 series boards are the best bet.

[o00JONESY00o]

I think I am going to go with the ASUS P5LD2 Deluxe. If I buy it OEM from newegg does it come with the plate, cables and things like that.

[glc]

Maybe, maybe not. Always buy retail motherboards.

Note that it may not ship with a new enough bios to support a 9xx processor.
