Hey all.
I've had my compter now for 4yrs and It's time to replace it with a new one. All my previous computers have all been Pentium chipped but I'm leaning towards the AMD chip. I've got a rig together and would like comments. The main things I need commented on are the mobo, processor and video card.

Processor:
AMD64 3000 2.0Ghz 512K 400fsb
Motherboard:
K8N-E Deluxe nForce3 250Gb AMD64 Socket754 6xSATA Dual RAID AI Audio
Ram:
OCZ4001024PDC-K 2x512M PC3200 Premier Kit 2.5-3-3-7
Hardrive:
Caviar SE 200G 7200rpm SATA 8M cache
Video Card:
Radeon 9800 Pro 128M
DVD writer:
GSA 4120B 12X/8X Dual Layer DVD/RW
Sound Card:
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS

The case is still to come.

All of the above will cost around $1400 Canadian.

Is the 64 bit chip and serial hard drive worth getting?
Also, should I wait for PCI express to become more mainstream before I get this machine?

Thing is that work is giving me $1000 towards a new computer for home and I don't want to pass up the opportunity.

Thanks.
