Just taken a look at it.

This i had in mind for now but i have to think about it.

A8N-SLI nforce4 socket 939

Athlon 64 x2 4200+ socket 939

Ati x1900XT

This is pretty much what I have...

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (heatpipe instead of chipset fan that will break within 3 months)
AMD X2 4400+
2GB RAM (2x1024 Dual Channel)
Leadtek Winfast Extreme 7800GT
Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
Enermax NoiseTakerAX 600 watts

And I like it very much!

I wonder though, why you're getting an SLI motherboard if you're installing an ATI card. It's ok if you want to stay with a single video card or plan to switch to dual nVidia cards in the future but that motherboard does NOT support ATI Crossfire technology (SLI being nVidia-specific technology)...

Thats why i ask it to you guys lol

Thnx for the info bilbo, so i better choose for a motherboard wich supports crossfire incase i want to upgrade to dual vid cart.

So for example a PC-A9RD480 xpress 200 crossfire.

Saw also an 580 xpress 3200. But i dont know how big the difference is between those 2 have to check it out. But they dont differ much in price.

I think Bilbo's killer machine is pretty close to what you want to build Dutch.
If you are planning on getting the X1900XT.Look for the xtx version or any one with the liquid cooled heat sink on it.ATI highend stuff has a tendency to heat up damn quick.I am currently running an SLI board and a 7800gt as well.SOunds like it is almost time for me to upgrade already....just to keep up to the joneses...LOL.....
