Ok, I know you vets from this forum have been asked this a million times, but I need help picking out parts for a new computer. This will be primarily used to play some of the newer games and my budget is around $1500. From reading these forums and doing a little reasearch, I'v compiled a list of some parts.

Processor: $267

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 1GHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939

Mobo:
This is where I am a bit stuck. Would you all recomend the fatality board or that neo with the sli? BTW, I am not completely sold on the whole sli fad.

Ram: $189
