My Computer Upgrade Package!
Well, after 4 years i finally decided to upgrade. I was on a tight budget though, since i only had 300 bucks to spend, so i bought the following:
Motherboard: MSI K9N NEO-F, nForce 550, Socket-AM2, SATAII, DDR2, GbLAN, PCI-Ex16
Graphics Card: PowerColor Radeon X1650PRO 256MB GDDR3, PCI-Express, 2xDVI-I/Tv-Out, Retail
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3500+, Retail
CPU Fan: Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro PWM, CPU-Fan Socket 754/939/AM2
Controller Card (IDE): Sunsway/ST Lab PCI ATA133 2P, Silicon Image chip
Was this a good choice i made? I got it all for 289 bucks  . I bought the IDE Controller Card, because i have 320GB IDE harddrive in computer. Oh, and i already have 1GB DDR2 RAM.
So, was this worth 289 bucks? Please Discuss

I reckon you should've bought a nVidia 7600GT PCI-e, very good value for money.
