I am building a computer for the first time - I want to keep it under 600 with shipping. I am not including a hard drive because I have a few of them. Here are the specs. (all from new egg)


Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (comes with 2 fans)

MSI 790GX-G65 AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

MSI N430GT-MD1GD3-OC/LP GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Antec Basiq BP500U 500W Continuous Power ATX12V Version 2.01 Active PFC Power Supply

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Desktop Memory Model F3-8500CL7D-8GBRL

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT55TFBGRBOX


Just wondering if this setup should work out? It seems compatible...

gaming will never happen on this pc...except emulators maybe :)  I use an Xbox360 for gaming. This is meant to be a home server / workstation / etc...

Then your selection of the GT430 is good but almost an overkill since gt220 would do fine.

Well, this computer will be at a desk and not technically a HTPC.....( i have a dual core for that - slimline)..... ANYWAYS...

One monitor (40 inch tv) will have XBMC on it at all times, which sits by my workstation.... so, I think this gpu will be able to keep that running at 1080...while running on things as well...?
