    Actually all of the ones from a couple weeks ago have been saying wait for conroe.

    The only AM2 build ive seen posted was a cheap sempron/athlon 64 one.

    We'll point out a nice AM2 system. I suggest the cheapest Athlon 64 AM2 or even a Sempron 64 until K8L so then... if you can, you can upgrade to the newer processor in Q4.

    Mind me asking, why do you have to buy by June 21st?

    woodcrest is out on 26th... higher FSB and shoudl performa little better... might be a little pricier, and unable to OC well though but...

    either that, get a low end sempron andd hold out for k8L if possible, conroe isn't aslated until july 23rd according to wikpedia...


    either that or get a PD805 and we'll try to find a cornoe compatable board. prefereably something on a 975X chipset...

    939 is essentialy played out now.

    my gues is woodcrest might be right for you IF you don't plan on OCing.

    Tone down the processor to a 4400 or 4200

    Get the non wireless version of that motherboard, or go with a cheaper one

    You're getting SLI, you might as well use it so get 2 7600GTS which will outperform that 7900GT

    edit

    ----------------------------

    Your case is going to bug the hell out of you with all of its neon lights, and it is pretty expensive. You should get a different case and get an antec truepower II 550W PSU.
