I'm asking because places often have combo deals which can save a lot of money. Personally, I would get: CPU: X3 440 $75 Mobo: Gigabyte GA-770TA-UD3 $80 after rebate RAM: G.Skill 2x2 GB 1333 mhz CAS Latency 9 $84 GPU: HD 5770 $150 after rebate PSU: Corsair 450W $50 after rebate Total: $439 ($239 for the CPU, board and RAM) Upvote 0 Downvote
