Any suggestions for my new rig

The new system im getting next week...

amd 64 4000+ san diego S939

CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Twinx2048-3200c2pt

ASPIRE X-CRUISE -AL Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower

Western Digital raptor 74 Gb

Asus A8n32-SLI deluxe (I´m definitely not changing my mind about this mobo ,the best around for amd)

eVGA 256-P2-N527-AX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16

Antec TruePower 2.0 TP2-550 EPS12V ATX12V 550W

Acer AL1714CB-8 Black 17" 8ms LCD

ZALMAN CNPS7000B-Cu (cuz Im going to OC the cpu)

what can u guys say about it, u r the experts! I´m gonna use it mainly for gaming and my budget is about 2000$...

A SLI MB but not going SLI? You could prolly save some $$ if you switch to a non-SLI board, unless you plan on using SLI later, but you dead set on that MB it seems 8) /shrug
If you stay with that MB, you could switch the ram with the a8n32-SLI's recommended memory, XMS 3500LL PRO.

Also, some other heatsink options would be the zalman 9500 like Newf said, or the XP-90C, or the SI-120 i believe is another good one.

And if you going with the 7800GTX, i think newegg might still have that deal where you get $100 off the video card if you buy one of the X2 processors... Just some other options to think about.

yes, Im planning to get another card later this year...! I think Im going for the zalman CNPS9500 for my cpu! Thanx for your suggestions!

If thats case about games coming out later utilizing dual core why not wait on the dual core processors unless your positive in the next few months it will be worth having. Personally I have the 4000+ SD and it works great. I recommend the 4000+ chip. If you want further investigating look at the CPU chart comparison that Toms Hardware Guide has to offer.

4000 SD 2.4GHz with 1MB L2. To get the same performance AND get dual-core get the 4800CDBOX X2 2.4GHz with 2x1MB L2. Also add $300. If you get a slower X2 either games will run slower (but could you tell?) or overclock (3800 2GHZ X2 clock to around 2.6). You are spending serious green on a new system. If it were me I'd get the 4800 X2 now, looking 1-2 years down the road to upgrade the videocard.
