New Computer for $1000--Suggestions

[Zach_the_Evil]

Hi there. I'm new here, and need some advice for a gaming computer for about $1,000. A little over is fine--but not by much.

Anyways, here is what I am thinking of getting.

AMD Athlon 64 3000+
ASUS A8N SLI
EVGA GeForce 7800 GT
Maxtor 250GB MXDX6B250S0
Enermax EG565P-FMA 535W
Kingston KVR400X64C3AK2 1 GB
DVD-ROM drive--need suggestions
Case--more suggestions

Okay, that's what I was thinking of. However, do I need that PSU? How about the motherboard--any cheaper recomendations? I intend to use this to play HL2, BF2, CoD2, etc. Oh, one other thing: my monitor has only VGA--does the videocard come with a VGA to DVI adaptor?

If you read thru the post on this forum and in the motherboard one, you'll find that this kind of post has been asek a thousand time.. no need for another one. just search.

That's started to push at the seams of my budget, but it still fits in my budget. Actually, it goes over by $4.93, but I don't really care about that.

It appears to be a good case, but I don't have enough left over cash to buy it. I might save up some more money and opt for this later.

Thanks, your suggestions didn't cost me a whole bunch more, yet got me a bunch of better stuff.
