My choice would be
On newegg :
pqi TURBO Series Dual Channel Platinum Kit 184-Pin 1GB(512MB x 2) DDR PC-4000 - OEM $255.00
GIGABYTE "GA-K8NS Ultra-939" NVIDIA nForce3 ULTRA Chipset Motherboard For AMD Socket 939 CPU -RETAIL $116.00
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8GHz, 512KB L2 Cache 939-Pin 64-bit Processor - OEM $179.00
This is the new 90nm processor from amd , comes in 9x200
So with those memories you can get something like 250x9 = 2250mhz , which should be something like 3800/4000+ , with just a little overclocking

If you won't overclock your system, the kingston stuff is good. Otherwise something else is prefered.
As the cpu, take whatever you wan't 
You case and so, I don't know what you have right now but if it's some cheap crap then heat could become an issue.
Same goes for the powersupply, 300w is NOT enough! 350w at least! |
How is what i suggested ?

If he doesn't care about overclocking, the memory is useless
And still, the A64 is good at asynchrone overclocking. So you don't really need fast memory.
You can buy super duper nos-injected hyperdeluxe tripple channel titanium gold memory modules, but if you don't overclock you're a dumb buyer! I would even call you a riceboy...
They won't run any faster at stock speeds & timings then the cheap thing you can buy in every shop. |
wELL I asked him , but hasnt answered if he wants to overclock

MSI is best now on mobos? I havn't been updated on the computer hardware stuff lately.
When I last read, ASUS was still best. So now MSI got better?

Well there isn't a whole load of difference between the kt800ps and the nf3s. I would just get whatever is cheaper if you aren't planning to overclock. Although the nf3 does have quite a few rather interesting features that makes it better than the kt.
