Is this a good Mobo/CPU combo?

Seems like a good combo, however you should post the prices you are buying those two parts for, perhaps we can find you a cheaper alternative if possible. Also are you overclocking? If so you may want to invest in a CPU cooler. Lastly, what is this computer going to be used for?

Computer will be used for main day to day, more so in a business environment. So no on the overclocking, I found the Mobo for $80 and the CPU for $100.

I need something that will last a long time and Ill be running Win 7 on it. I was planning on throwing some Consar Vengeance DDR3 at it also, 8gb.

Anything else just let me know. New to site so not 100% sure what all you guys like to see on here.

Thanks,

PS. I noticed that the AMD didnt have internal gfx so i was going to put a - Gigabyte Radeon HD 5450 GV-R545-1GI Video Card - for $35 in the comp so i have some basic graphics,

Either that or a ZOTAC ZT-20313-10L Synergy GeForce 210 Video Card for $15 but idk if i want to go super cheap cuz i want something that will last a few years, not that its going to be a gaming comp.

Icic but the board you showed me there has an on board video chipset so i wouldn't really need a separate card at all would I?


Nope you wont need a seperate card, It has the HD 3000 which is quite good just for desktop usage, and browsing through the internet. So it would be great decision for a business computer while saving quite a bit of money. If you feel the urge to get a discrete video card you can do so by utilizing the PCI-E slot.
