Antec 300 - $60

750gb HDD - $75

Asus Motherboard - $69

GTS 250 1gb version - $149

500W OCZ PSU - $49 ($29 after MIR)

2x 4gb(2x2) OCZ 1066 DDR2 RAM - $90

AMD Phenom II X4 940 black edition -$189

TOTAL W/ Shipping = $692.47

I have an extra 22x Burner at my house currently. Anything you guys would recommend changing? If you wonder about prices, I had some promocodes from weekly online newsletter. FYI, this is for my whole family, needs to do video editing and maybe some gaming. Computer in sig is my baby :).

Only thing I was thinking about maybe changing is dropping the GTS 250, and going with the 260, and if so, is it worth it to pay the extra $10 to get the 216cores?

Thanks! And please tell me if you see a compatibility issue!

just keep the GTS 250 but if you want more power go for the GTX 260 with 216 cores. Everything seems compatable.

I recommend not getting a micro atx mobo. Just get a standard size atx mobo.

yeah no shame in a micro-atx board in an atx case. if it works and saves you money why change? a board is a board if it does what you want it too.
