This is what I have considered to upgrade my computer in a short while some time next year. It would be good if I could get your opinions.

A few people havw said to me instead of the Intel core, get a AMD A64 3200+ with a Venice core…? They said it runs cooler and $100 cheaper (I have noticed that). I am also open to other motherboards models. My second options is really good and it’s also SLI. If someone could also explain to me why Kingston costs a bit more than Corsair, that would be good, saves me some money that I could use elsewhere.
Total cost: $976.00
Total cost (using options): $841.00
