First time builder seeking help.
I've been planning these parts for two weeks and have been refining the
list ever since, but more input from pro's can never hurt. I was wondering if anyone would mind giving some pointers? Are these parts compatible? Are they good parts? Is there anything else I should invest in? Any help would be great. I plan on using the computer for alot of graphic design, especially Adobe products, and I guess a little gaming. Thanks alot!

.... in? Any help would be great. I plan on using the computer for alot of graphic design, especially Adobe products, and I guess a little gaming. AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1GHz HT Socket 939 E6 Processor - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103568 You are getting a socket 939 mobo, why not consider going the extra distance and get an Athlon 64 X2 (dual core) cpu? Of course budget ($) is a factor, I suppose you could upgrade in the future. CORSAIR ValueSelect 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145480 Perhaps consider getting a single or even two 1GB modules (2x1GB)-- if you buy the 2x512 you will occupy two of your memory slots with 512MB chips, which you might have to junk or ebay if you want to upgrade memory later. Depends on how intense graphics you plan to do-- do the math and see what kind of ram you need. For example, I am building a somewhat similar system, going dual core cpu, and 4GB RAM because I will be doing 20x30 inch graphic images 10 layers 300dpi 24bits-- which can easily utilize the 4GB of system RAM. ....

oem software unless you have other plans in that department. Last I knew, Lite-on was producing drives for Sony. Here's a Lite-on that is bundled with Nero OEM Suite *and* PowerDVD. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106014

I can give you my input from a different google group:
http://groups.google.com/group/64-bit_Hardware__OSs You would need to become a member, then copy and post this topic there.

I read your specs, and I think that this is a decent system. All the
suggestions replied to you are good too. My own a I would bung in a creative X-FI soundcard, but you might not see this as a priority, just to let you know that when I got one of these I was impressed with it!
