i was just wondering if these coompnents are compatable?

Question

Xvision 256MB Geforce 8600GT PCI-EX16
and
Asus Socket AM2 Mainboard M2N-MX+AMD Athlon 64 3500

and would it be any good?

Answer 1

That would be a pretty decent gaming set up and excellent video set up. Just put in 2x1Gb RAM on dual channel mode and you would be ready to rock and roll. You could consider the X2s on your future upgrade. Be sure to have a power supply that will give you elbow room for upgrades or added peripherals and perhaps a few "bells and whistles".
