AFAIK AMD Athlon 3400+ is a 754 pin mobo proccy...& u wish to use it with ASUS A8NE mobo which is 939 pin....Please check out whether u 3400+ is 939 pin..Someone please throw some light on this...

Instead u can go in for the 3500+ which is almost similar to the 3400+

The rest of the config looks very solid & seems to be the ideal rig atleast for the next 2 to 3 years. Also u shall get very good gaming results.....

As for the speakers its totally YOUR choice & not ours...lolz

I just checked out now.....3400+ IS a 754 pin mobo proccy...Although it has a 1 MB L2 Cache, it can not be used on the ASUS mobo. Anyways, 754 is outdated technology...

So instead u can can go in for the AMD Athlon 3500+ or the Atlon 64 FX 55...Both of which are 939 compatible...

How can you suggest a FX-55?! He said his budget was Rs.50000. A FX-55 alone costs over Rs.40000.

Well, ya that was a poop....Didnt realise that he had budget constraints as well.....Ya the FX-55 is out of question....

For a 50K budget, the 3500+ is the best bet.....The rest of the components can remain the same...
