I would like to get comments on my AMD budget gamer I am building for my stepson. I am going with the AMD for cost reasons and since I am a longtime AMD user (would otherwise go Intel). Any comments are welcome. Especially on the CPU, which I went back and forth between the X2 6000+ Windsor or the 5000+ Brisbane (65nm unlocked). Here are the main components:
Motherboard: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570
If this is a gaming PC I'd forget about the 8600GTS and go for the 8800GT 512MB. I second the Crucial Ballistix RAM or even their value RAM is good for mild OC's.
