well toms is about to release an updated $500 system soon. which might or might not be that different from the old one they posted.

the system you posted is good, but with bulldozer around the corner i think its best to wait.

 

[hameem 1]

toms $500 PC is intel based which expensive.. and don't do COMPOS to save $$
and i don't want to wait for the bulldozer ..

 

[computernugget]

Looks like a good deal for the $$$. I think the cpu/psu combo isnt that great just because its only a 500W psu but if you dont plan on SLI or dozer then its fine.

- AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition $119 - $15 = $104

With promo code you get another $15 off right now!

- Antec EarthWatts EA-650 GREEN 650W $89.99 - $20 - $20 = $49.99

Good time to get this one! $20 instant and $20 MIR

...these 2 parts are only $153.99 after rebates! $1.99 more then your combo but its a slightly better cpu and a bigger psu for future upgrades.

It looks ok for your budget as you have it though, just my 2cents.

am not planing to crossfire or sli .. so i think my 500W crosair will be enough
any thing else ?

i expected a LOT of replies

 

[slcmike]

Well...there isn't honestly much to reply on, looks decent for your budget, go for it. Everything is compatible with each other and the parts you good. Just make sure you do it soon before the combos are gone and you have to rethink it all.

the reason you didnt get a lot of replies is because you didnt fill out the specific form hardcore toms users make you fill out when you're choosing a new system.
