So I have this mobo laying around collecting dust and figured I'd try to do something with it. It's a MSI 880GMA-E45. Had several problems with OC'ing a x6 1055t on it, so I bought a different board.
Here's the new system I'm piecing together:
MSI 880GMA-E45 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

I will reuse an old Antec case and IDE DVD drive. I also still have the stock HSF from my 1055t. The HDD and mobo are already paid for, so I figured this is a pretty good price for what I'm getting, no? With the $20 promo card, I can grab a copy of Win7 for $80. Total cost after rebates is $225.96.
