First build

[samn]

Howzit Im the new dude
Ive never posted here before but Ive read through a few things on this website.

Anyway, this is going to be my first build so I want to check I have every thing in order.
I want this machine to run most games, which Im sure it will, but mostly I want it to run flight simulator x well or kinda well.

Heres what Im putting together:

(CPU) AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition - 2.80 GHz

(MotherBoard) Asus M4N78 with EPU-4

(RAM) Kingston ValueRam Memory - DDR2-800MHz - 2GB

(Graphics) TwinTech nVidia Geforce 9600GT 512MB

(Hard Drive) Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 Sata 3Gb/s 320GB 16-MB Cache

(PSU) Antec Basiq BP550 Plus Power Supply - 550w

I already have a chassis with a dvd drive.
The other CPU im looking at is an AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition. It costs a lot more then the 720 but how much more powerful is it. Is it worth the extra money?

Maybe I will overclock but Ill see how it go's first.
