Really helpful so far but I feel like I have much further to go. Thanks for a list of good manufacturers, but there are way too many items for me to choose from Bang Head

Am I looking for support for Athlon 64 X2 / Intel Socket 775 or something else, and beyond that what should I look out for? (number of sockets, bus, ??)

Is DDR2 800 optimal and worth the cost?

I know the least about motherboards but thanks so much so far.

edit: ok here's my shot at a list of parts, I have no idea where to get them from though
