-Good choice in hard drive though they can be found cheaper.

-You can get 1600MHz RAM for less than $40 EDIT: Saw the mobo combo nvm if that's what you are doing.

-Good PSU choice.

-Good DVD Drive

-Good Mobo

-7870's are cheaper than the 7850 you listed. Get that instead, or get a $180 7850 2GB.


-This phenom is the same price and stronger.

Also yes I recommend getting an aftermarket cooler. With a decent one you can easily overclock that thing to 4 GHz+

One says 1600. The other says 1333. 1600>1333. If you are worrying about timings or something, don't. A higher speed is more important (I am not saying timings don't matter!).

There is not much price difference between them so go with 1600 :bounce:
