This one is an excellent choice as well. The Athlon outperforms the Pentium that I picked and both can be overclocked a lot. The ASUS board that I picked is better quality than the Gigabyte though. It comes down to preference at this point.
Well thanks!
and btw tell me PSU upgrade is necessory? i have 500 watt PSU.500W should be sufficient to run either set up that you chose with the GPU that you have. I would only upgrade the PSU if it is a low quality one.What brand/model is your PSU?
