New build around 500. Thoughts?
Last response: in Systems
AMD Athlon II X4 635 2.9GHz - $100
Asus M4A79XTD EVO Socket AM3 790X ATX Motherboard - $115
OCZ Technology Gold Series XTC Cooler 4GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10666) Dual Channel - $100
Antec Three Hundred ATX Mid Tower - 50$
OCZ Technology StealthXStream 500 Watt ATX Power Supply - $45
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS 500GB - $51
Samsung OEM DVD Burner - 25$
My old Nvidia 8800 GT
Total: $486 + tax = $515 ish
... and maybe a few fans. I wanted to build it so he could upgrade to a better CPU/RAM/Video Card down the road. Hopefully AMD keeps this socket for a while.
What do you think? Suggestions?

Agreed : OCZ DDR3 these days does not inspire much confidence tbh and $100 u could nab better ones really! Btw $115 is overpriced for a previous gen 8/8 700 series when $90 these days nabs ya a juicy 8/8 with USB/SATA III 800 series hehe

Negative on StealthXStream as well : ain't 80+ certified and look for its ModXtreme 500 cousin with DVDRW SATA combo like this one:
