What do you guys think of this new build to replace my long obsolete Athlon XP 2100+ rig. I am basically ready to order everything now but just want to make sure I'm not making any big mistakes with anything. I know AM2 is the new way to go, but I generally prefer to stick with the tried and true and hence my decision to go 939. Price is not a huge concern but if I can keep it below $500 mark I'd be pretty happy.
Mobo:
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 SLI-D
CPU:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego
Vid Card
eVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS 256MB
hdd:
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
Btw - these will be paired with the Corsair RAM and Lian Li case in my sig. Like I said, I already know there are higher end and more expensive alternatives, especially with the vid card. So no need to tell me I should go for an 8800 GTS/GTX instead I'm mainly just interested in quality and stability, and overall performace and bang for buck sort of stuff. Is there any reason to think it would not be a solid rig. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I meant to put this under general hardware. Sorry 'bout that
