Hi guys. Am putting together another system for myself and giving the one in my sig to my daughter.
Currently the parts I have are;
Venice 3500+ s939
DFI Lanparty UT nF3 ULTRA-D
X800Pro from my sig
2x512MB OCZ PC3500 Gold GX UTT BH-5's
250Gb Sata Samsung Spinpoint HD
Ultra X-finity 500W PSU

Going to buy another case (don't know what yet), a keyboard and mouse.

This will be my first AMD pc, so would like some expert advice/recommendation on the above, ie: how will it compare to the P4 I have now? Any problems/concerns with any of the above? I know the DFI has some problems with newer ATI drivers and have got the latest compatible drivers ready for install.

Cheers for any advice guys :).

    It is a decent setup... what do you plan to use it for?

    It'll be slightly faster (assuming the machine in your sig is your current one) but probably not very noticable at all. The biggest speed boost may even be from the HD being upgraded than anything else.

    Will be a little bit of gaming, some usage of dvd shrink, but mostly just browsing around :).
    Sig is current too.
