I just bought my first pieced together setup. I've always just bought prebuilt comps by Dell/Gateway, but decided I'll just upgrade the brains in my current comp. This is what I ordered.

Motherboard MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM nFORCE3 ULTRA SC939 DDR400 IDE/SATA GIGABIT LAN IEEE1394 AUDIO ATX
CPU AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 939pin 130nm Oem
Cooling Fans Thermaltake A1770 VENUS 7+ Heat Sink & Cooling Fan AMD Recommended for Athlon 64 and Opteron
Memory PC3200 DDR 400 512MB
Memory PC3200 DDR 400 512MB
Cases X-PLORER CASE 420WATT BLACK/BLUE SIDE WINDOW ATXB8KLW-BL

I'm upgrading from a 2ghz pentium 4 (or 3... i can't even remember). The main thing that held me back from upgrading this long is that I've got about $300 worth of RAMbus (have no clue why Dell insisted on using RAMbus in this model.. But is this a decent setup? All I mainly do is watch movies and play games on here..
