As suggested by a number of users on a post I made ages ago. I just want to make sure the parts I am looking to grab are all compatible.

MB: ASUS A7V600-X Socket 462 DDR1 AMD
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3000+ socket 462 CPU AXDA3000DKV4E 2.1 GHz Barton 512/400
GPU: XFX GeForce4 Ti 4200 128MB AGP
PSU: THERMALTAKE TR2-470W PFC Function W0089 ATX 12v 2.0
Sound card: Labway A301-G50 Yamaha XG YMF724F-V

I have a suitable case and proper RAM already. Thank you for your time!

Yes, they are compatible. By the way, the XFX GeForce4 Ti is a nice touch 👍🏻.

Awesome, thanks for the confirm and info! Parts are ordered, the motherboard is "for parts" because the seller can't test it, but I didn't see anything obviously wrong in pics. Here's hoping.

Now I need to disassemble my old crappier setup and find my Athlon CPU. It's here somewhere.

1.) MS-DOS 6.22, Pentium-S 90mhz, 32mb RAM, S3 Trio64, Vibra 16
2.) Windows 98 SE, AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 2.1ghz, 512mb RAM, Geforce 4 TI 4200 128mb, Sound Blaster Live! Value

Soundcard is a bit basic for my taste.
It has amazing sounding midi but lacks EAX or A3D
Something like a SBLive! if on a budget or anything up to an Audigy 2 for EAX
or Vortex 2 for A3D 2.0
