I agree, I got a motherboard for an AMD Athlon 64 X2 but I'm just waiting till I can kill my frugality to buy more parts. I hate spending money and I always wanna make sure I get the best deal possible or I just feel guilty! So far, the power supply and processor are next on the list. Then get some RAM (DDR2) and put it all together and watch it explode in my face, lol.

Thats the one thing Im worried about, getting a power supply that just slightly wrong for my mobo and watching it fry a $200 investment. I have good reason to be cautious!
