The 7300 le is disgusting. I would get a worse harddrive and get a 7600 GT or at lest a GS.

Take the 28 out of the Heatsink and spend it on a better video card.

everything in my sig, not counting the 2nd harddrive or the psu, bc the case also came with a psu, was 770

you should def get a core 2 duo cpu isntead of that crappy athlon x2. the e6300 is 100 times better and is only 30 bucks more

and use the stock heatsink that comes with the e6300

 

get a 7600 for the vid card, get an oem harddrive, itll be half the price, means its opened out of the box, but hasnt been touched, still get the same warranty too

You need something better for the 7300le, otherwise its fine-although if you can stretch to a C2D get one.
