I think it's pretty good except the cpu cooler is a waste of money because the cpu comes with one for free and since the cpu is not for overclocking it's a waste of money to buy a aftermarket cpu cooler the rest is good though.

^ This.
Also I think you can get 2 x 2 GB Memory for the same or less price. 1 x 4 GB doesn't make much sense unless you planned to add in another 4GB of the exact same kind of stick later....but for another $15-$20 why not just do it now, or go with 2 x 2 GB?

Oh and the G860 is only another $5 for another 100MHz
