Geekness requested

[yoippari]

I know that there are geek central places to ask this kind of question but geeks are everywhere and there are bound to be at least a couple here.

My current setup is a msi kt4v with VIA chipset. An athlon 1800+ xp under a volcano 9 that runs constantly at 5200 rpm (spec says it is 2900-4800 +/-5%) This thing has been going for nearly 2 years now.

I don't have the money to start going SATA yet, but I do kinda want to buy another stick of 512.

The processor I am looking at is http://www.pcclub.com/product_detail...temno=A1906541

3200+ 64 bit for $185 but I got $100 credit at the local store so it would only be $85 out of my pocket. Then the mother board... still looking into that one. Could go SLI or crossfire or single.

Spending... that depends on how long I want to wait. I could get a mobo and processor with the stock fan as early as.. now. Or I could wait a month and get the board, oem processor, and get a basic water cooling setup (about 150 it seems) and upgrade later with a heater core and more water blocks. I am willing to wait a couple of months so money isn't an issue (to a certain extent).
