Now ialready have a good case a 575w PSU and drives and stuff, all this is $672, What do you think?

not bad at all for the cost i mean its really nice for the cost, the processor is nice and a pretty good video card if you do not have budget go for a 8800 gtx or a c2dmillerlight89

Unless you have a big monitor, the GTX would not be needed. As for the c2d, the e6600 (which is just a tad better than the 6000+) costs $53 more on newegg. c2d is only a better choice if you must have better or you are going to OC.

The biggest thing I have found out while shopping for pc parts is that you can always go up $10 on this and $20 on that, but it adds up. Oo... for another $10 I can get... Bottom line, pick a budget and DON't go over or you might just find yourself spending $100+ more than you wanted to.

Nice mobo for the price! I came up with this. How did I miss the one you picked? For only a few extra bucks, It has more RAM compacity and better upgrade potential (more cpu power for the phenom ;)). Of course, when choosing cheap parts, the extra bucks are worth while if it will last longer.

Very cheap, but why not get a C2D?jking197

why throw money down the drain? a 6000+ is more than enough

Yeah dont throw your money down the drain with that mobo and processor. Why not get a P35 mobo which is future proof because it will support new 55nm and 45nm processors which will be coming out next year. Intel processors perform way better than AMDs top of line. Get like a E6450, E6550, or a E6750.

AMD X2 6000 does get whupped by most C2Ds but if u want gaming it doesnt matter that much since there both really good performance-wise
