CPU AMD 64 |3400+ ATHLON 64 RTL

HD 120GB|MAXTOR L01M120 7200 8MB RT

CPU FAN CMASTERHYPER6 KHC-V81-U1 RT

VGA EVGA|GF 6800GT 256-A8-N349-AX

CASE COOLERMAS|ATX PAC-T01-E1SLV R (praetorian)

So thats my xmas list. Do you think it will be a solid gaming/3d modelling rig?

I don't really plan on overclocking, maybe in the future, but for now I think I should be good.

My current rig is a sony vaio p4 1.4 ghz 512 ram and 9600SE

I would not buy a new S754 system, rather go for S939 A64 3000+/3200+ CPU and MSI or Epox S939 moterboard

other components are very good

Not much at all. Shop around Newegg.

what is the biggest difference between 754 and 939 ?

And what about nforce4 moboards, i know they are out for 754, but what about 939?

The 939 has a dual channel memory controller, the 754 has only a single channel.

And the NF4 mobo's are also for S939.
