Would this be worth getting?

[valestrom]

I found this deal on newegg: Click here and I was wondering if it would be worth getting to upgrade these specs:

Motherboard: Asus P5N73-AM (Supports ddr2 RAM)
Processor: Intel dual core 2.5 ghz
Memory: 1, 2 gigabyte stick of DDR2 RAM


Here is the case: (I already did measurements and it will fit.)

Please note, this is not my picture, just the same case.

Also, i'm open to any other suggestions on what may be a better "bang for your buck"




Thanks ahead of time

Ugh you're from Canada, so shipping sucks. That isn't bad but it would force you to upgrade again. I would get the Phenom II x4 955 along with a AM3+ motherboard which can be found for $60-100. The one near $60 are like older generation around 760-880. I recommend getting at least 970. That way you can upgrade to bulldozer when the time comes. Do note you may want to upgrade your PSU too by then. I don't know which one you have. If you have no plans to upgrade or just want to use something now. That isn't bad but see if there's any intel combos

Well I decided the best way to go, and the cheapest, would be to go to my local computer store here in calgary. I could get like a 880 or 890 motherboard 8 gigs of ram and a quad core 3.1 for less than on newegg, plus no shipping. Thanks for the help anyway wintermint!
