building 450$ rig!! recomendation needed

video card for movies? pretty much anything will work, 8600GT is $85. The PSU seems a little bit of overkill, the corsair 450 can be had for $60.

The first double post I've ever had. Ignore

I'm sure you could find a cheap 2GB Dual Channel set of RAM to go with all that. Love the CPU, its unlocked, so OC'ing will be easy, though you'll need a cooler. everything else looks good. Good choice for the PSU.

Yes, it's a Good PSU but likely overkill.

As others mentioned the 450w Corsair will likely save you a little cash.
That may let you upgrade to DDR2-800.

Since you are using it for a HTPC? why not just buy a 780G and save a little more (Gigabyte has one with e-SATA and HDMI).

GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard. $99.99

This motherboard has the best onboard video of any on the market.
Check out toms review.
My brother has built 2 of these for HTPC. Very happy customers.
You can add another video card if you wish and still use the onboard to create cross-fire set up. If you arent a hard core gamer I think this set-up should do everything you would want it to.
Wait.. one last thing. The black edition does not come with a cooling device so you will have to purchase one.

i already have 2 of those rams(512 X2) so im just adding 2 more to have 2 dual channel mem.
the reason why i choose that psu is because for the future, i might upgrade its graphics card , or add 1 more.
also i have AM2 socket cooler that was about 25$
