I am in the process of putting together a budget system (MS applications, some picture and video editing, internet, no games) and was planning to purchase these components. I am looking for any input on this setup, if all the components are compatible or if there are better options for a comparable price. Eventually I will add a TV tuner PCI.
AMD Phenom II X2 550
ASUS M4A78-E 790GX HDMI ATX
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066
500GB Western Digital Caviar Black
Antec Three Hundred ATX Case
Antec earthwatts EA380 380W
Also, I am considering upgrading to AMD Phenom II X3 720, is it worth the extra $20?
