Quick Critique Please

[dookeran_3]

Hi,

I want to get a quick critique from you of this build before I buy. Not gaming or overclocking. Have already purchased an Antec Sonota III Case w/ 500WPSU, and Hitachi Deckstar 320GB HD.

Thanks

budget? do you need a monitro?

 

[dookeran_3]

Yes, on a budget. I already have an LCD Monitor. I've reverted to go with 2GB of ram instead.

Looks good to me. Since you're not OC or Gaming that video card and cpu will be fine should be a great running system for you.
