Hey whats up all, been a while eh?

Time for me to upgrade again, and I see the opinions of the only folks I've ever really trusted for HW decisions (specially stress :P ).

Anyway, here's what I'm looking at:

MB: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131568

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819103531

Video: nVidia Geforce 6800XT
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814150154

I've already got 1gig of RAM (Corsair XPS. Good stuff) so that only leaves a new PSU (Running on a 400w right now). Haven't looked into that much yet.

What do you guys think?

You may want to post that over in .com as well if you're looking for Stress' opinion :)

Yes master, I did that. That's why I asked what it was/when it happened. I have since found out (sort of) when/why. Sucks to hear.

As for the upgrade, I had something similar in mind but I was thinking about getting a faster vid card (7900gt) and a slower processor (3500+). I figured the faster card would be more useful right now. Plus, it's a lot more card for $75 more.
