given your lack of funds, I really can't complain with your choices;

Not a fan of the mobo chipset, but hey - Rosewill as a PSU; I have one unit of theirs, hasn't died yet , but it won't blow your doors off either.

Ram, you going to bother with a 64bit OS? No? scrap it for 2GB, take the extra few bucks saved and invest that difference into your GPU.

Never had a Samsung burner, heard solid things - they're an all around good company quality wise.

The price on the case HDD combo is nice, WD isn't my first choice (unless its a raptor) but thats just me.

Thanks for the Reply! Well im not a fan of the mobo either that why im little iffy about it. and i not going for 32bit atm but when i get more money cause my birthday is in like 2 months ill have gb for the 64bit that im getting.

 

[raven_87]

As for the motherboard, got any other idea's at hand?

 

[codeman553]

Not atm. im looking for a combo deal first cause than i can save money and if theres nothing good than go for just the motherboard

 

[codeman553]

Well i found 2 decent motherboard and Cpu Combo tell me what ya think

You didnt ask, but I put together an Intel build with what I believe are better quality and higher performing parts. $471 before shipping.

You will be able to overclock the e5200 to 3 Ghz on the stock cooler.

O thanks Koolaidman23. Ill take a look

 

[raven_87]

I figured you were set on AMD, but I was considering building a wishlist on an Intel build.

I had a 6000+ at one time and wasn't too impressed, the Wolfdales on the other hand are gold if you strike the right one.
