Ahaha... a 3800+, 4GB of ram and a 7600GS? Good one.


Dont forget the ATA-100 Hardive with a 8 MB Cache, or the fact that the RAM is PC4200 or that crappy PSU that comes with the case.

believe me, you aren't going to need 4 gigs of RAM until at least Vista comes out, and then 2 gb will still be enough for more than a year.
Get a better PSU, WTF IS UP WITH THE HDD, and like wtf buying windows? Get it from someone who gets them for free from work or college (if you want it legally). And rofl, DDR 1 RAM.

Learn to do it more often. People in here think they have a brain. Typical internet kids, especially on forums like purepwnage where they are facinated with funny words and a bunch of actors.

motherboards don't effect performance as much as you'd think. they benchmarked a 60 dollar am2 board with nforce 4 against the most expencive 200+ board with nforce 590 SLI whatever, and they were very close in the benchmarks. The 200 dollar board might have increaced performance by maybe 1%. and the cheaper board won in a few benchmarks.

The cheep board has a limited bios, and even if overclocking was enabled would very probably not achieve anything decent.

The capacitors on the board are going to be trash, don't expect it to last 18 months.
