Hi,
I have very old computer and now I decided to build new one. I did some reading and already choosen parts:
(MSI K9N SLI-2F, nForce570 SLI ATX)
PSU (ANTEC PSU TRUE POWER TRIO 650W PFC SLI)
GPU (Geforce 9800 gtx+ sli)
CPU (AMD ATHLON 64 X2 6000+ am2+)
HDD (SeaGate 320 GB)
DDR2 (2gb 800mhz (Kingston Dimm) x2
ZALMAN CPU COOLER S.478/775/AM2/754/ 939
I want to know is these parts compatible with each other?
Is it bad that motherboard has am2 socket while CPU has am2+?
650w would be enough for this system?

Couple of things really.
They all will work together, however:
That mobo is know to get very hot. Take a look here (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/201318-12-nforce-rumour)
The question was whether it get hot and the reply was posted
The quote in particular is this:
It's the same for every motherboard based on nForce590/570 SLi compared to ones based on Xpress3200.
Nothing to worry about if you don't intend to overclock
Just in case you were thinking about Overclocking.
The sockets will work together. Am2 and Am2+ are compatible and are really only difference in speed.[/*]
650 should be fine for that system. However if you can get more then i would.[/*]
The only thing i was unable to check was the RAM. I'm sure that will work fine but its best to check if you can post a link
Also i'm not sure about the CPU cooler. I know Am2 and Am2+ are compatible but I'm not to sure about the fan socket.
Apart from the last 2 it should work together.
