Buidling a pc

I'd get a 620 Propus with a Gigabyte 785 US2H and 4GB DDR2-800.

Is the propus a decent game-performer? If so then why is the 550 more expensive than it......

Thx for responses everybody, I found this set up

all for just 665, if there are any suggestions regarding this I would be happy to hear them

Hmm a less than reputable PSU, a HD 4870 and 2G of DDR2 with an AM2+ instead of AM3 chip - am not too sure of this to be honest

NO NO NO on the PSU you picked. Def 4gb of DDR3.

How bout this instead of the other psu http://directron.com/cxi600b.html
And I'm really not sure myself about the graphics card, but it has such a good deal with windows 7..... Would the 2gbs affect it that much? This machine is only for gaming, and it is win7, not vista, so is it worth it to opt for the 4gbs? Even at current prices?

Actualy, is the quad core athlon cpu any good? For gaming? Because the person I am helping building this for is mainly using this as a gaming comp but would like a quad core

Once again thx guys, looked through your opinions and found this

I can pick up a dvd drive at the local store. Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Actually, on second thought, shortstuff_mt that was a great post, probably better than mine, I think I might do that one, thank you

Yea, that HEC PSU is also not a good idea. I'll give you a quick way to tell if it's a POS just by the pictures. See the little red switch on the back? That means it doesn't have active PFC and you should turn and run. A good PSU will have active PFC and be at least 80+ certified. Another good tip is to look at the Amp rating on the 12v rail(s) vs. the 3.3v and 5v rails. Old model PSU's have more Amps dedicated to the 3.3v and 5v rails which doesn't do a modern system any good. You want the majority of the Amps on the 12v rail(s).

Batuchka your post was also good, I will consider it as well, thx to all ppl who answered

Ya once again shortstuff thx, you have been very helpful, i never realized how important a psu is

Happy building and enjoy your rig!
