Yes it is compatible, you did your homework alright, but I'd like to add some suggestions:

Go for a dual core processor. Look at the 3800+ x2

I'd look at a brand such as Antec, Enermax, or Seasonic for the power supply.

Go for the 7600gt. Better performance/price ratio.

I've never heard of that brand of RAM before...so I can't really comment on it, however, I would get a dual channel kit (2 512MB sticks packaged together).

Much better choice of power supply.

The X1600 is a pretty decent mid-range card...I'm not familiar with those games, but I don't they are too graphic intensive, so they should run pretty well.

Also, you won't need the additional CPU fan if you get a Retail processor. The stock fan will work fine, and not using it voids your warranty on the CPU.

Don't forget the OS either.

Ill see what ill find about the ram.
I didnt know that the CPU should come with a stock fan.. Thanks for letting me know

Just make sure it's a Retail box, and not an OEM package. Retail box's come with fans, OEM processors don't.

Wow, 700 bucks?


I'm building mine for like $500 bucks and it has a x-1600xt, 3800+, 1 gig of RAM, am2 mobo, 80 gig HDD, and 450 watt PSU.



I guess its the HDD then......

Os, case, etc. add to the price as well.

[blue60007]

Watch the currencies...700 euros is about $900 US.
