"Don't be to proud of this technological terror you have constructed"
Spending my work hours very wisely, I have planned a nice little upgrade for my computer upon my return. With the help of NewEgg I have picked out all the pieces. The reason I'm posting them here is to gather opinions on whether or not they would be wise upgrades to purchase or not. Since I can't easily send out e-mails to everyone, I figured this would be the next best thing. These parts will all work in conjunction with my existing hardware. I'm only planning on purchasing a new motherboard, video card, and cpu at this time. These are the components I have selected so far:
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
ASUS EN7900GT-TOP Geforce 7900GT Video Card
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Manchester 2000MHz CPU
If you have any opinions on these components, either post a comment, or send me an e-mail. I haven't kept up on hardware news very much lately, so I may be way off base on my selections.

If I were you, I'd go with the new AM2 socket if you are set on AMD. The new Intel Core 2 Duo procs are supposed to be the new bestest processors, so maybe you'll want to build a system around that. Particularly if you plan on going with an Nvidia video card, since AMD and ATI are now in bed.

I agree with Tom, The AM2 is supposed to support the Quad Core and 64 X2. The ASUS Deluxe Wireless that supports the AM2 socket is pretty kick ass. Thats what I am going to buy.
