Building a Computer

I've ordered all my parts on newegg, and that's a final decision. All I need to know, is if these parts are all compatible please:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16837102151
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819104241
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820141164
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813135151
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129150
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827131256
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822144102

And on top of that, I already have a video card here at home, and here are it's specs:

GeForce FX-5900 AGP 128 MB DDR-850MHz

Yep, should go together OK as long as that ECS thing doesn't go bunk on you...

Yeah those are all compatible, but from what I've heard the Sempron AMD CPU's are like the Celeron Intel CPU's, meaning they aren't very good. It's a steady build but I don't think you're going to be gaming on this machine.

dont listen to them the 5900 is a decent card by todays standerds. before i got my sli rig and my 6800's i was useing 5900's and with a little oc'ing i was able to play doom 3 @ 1024 with every thing on the highest detail with 4x aa and AF and still be pulling of 40+ ps and around 30ish for big fire fights. granted i was ocing the card so that it was giveing a 9800 xt a run for its money. dispite what is said with a little ocing you will have no problems with the games that are out today.

as for the semperon they arnt like the celeron. they were designed as budget cpu's and to continue the socket a (almost dead now) and the socket 754 while the 64bit chips ran on the 939 socket. the semperon is alot faster then the celeron and isnt fair to compair it with one. the cpu will run about in par with the intell 2.6ghz if not the 2.8ghz.

as for the ECS mobo well its a budget pc so you cant expect the world of it...

that said looks fine to me

Its fine for a budget build. The 5*** series werent nvidias strongest line, but you can always change that out in the future, the 6600gt's are likely to become nicely cheap within the next 6 months so keep a look out.
