Since it looks like you already ordered it, are you satisfied with it?

 

[joeyck]

I like it, runs very cool temps never go higher then 60 C when gaming for hours.

But from a "professional" point of view is this a "good"build?

It's a decent system based on older technology, but why ask after ordering?

i have 10 days remaining on a refund so if its not up to par / sucks I could send it all back

I just wonder why you bought a 125W CPU, DDR2 and a socket AM2+ motherboard instead of more current technology. My comment also applies to the 9800GTX+ GPU. Two years ago it was a very good build and it still is for the price you paid. If you're satisfied with it, then why would you return it?
