Looks good, but the mobo is a little weak. Try to get a better one. I'll post back with a few.

What is your budget? Others could help you come up with a possibly better setup.

i did get help awhile back and y is mobo weak? he wont be doing any gaming a it supports ddr2 and dual cpu so it looks good to me

??? The link took me to the wrong page for some reason.

Maybe I was looking at a different tab, I don't know. Strange. But the motherboard that the link took me to looks good. Dunno why that happened. Anyway, heres what it took me to:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813135164

so don't get that. Your setup looks fine.

computermaineack · 04-30-2006, 09:09 PM

you might want to look in to a hard drive with SATA and 16mb cache.

Case: Decent looking, but i wouldnt recommend using that power supply.

Motherboard: Looks like a good budget board, but from the reviews it doesnt seem like a good overclocking board.

CPU: I would recommend getting a better single core, such as the Athlon 64 series. But if you insist on dual-core, that looks pretty nice, just dont expect it to be good in games.

RAM: I would go with this ram, most likely lower timings, and better quality

Hard Drive: I would recommend this Hard Drive, it's SATAII and has 160GB of storage.

Keyboard: It's a nice keyboard, but personally i dont think you need it for your system.

Mouse: Looks very good for the price.

Monitor: Very nice, but i would consider this. It has a $60 mail-in rebate. I have that Tyris monitor and i love it.

Optical: Ordinary CD burner, but for $10 more you can get a DVD Burner.

Speakers: Decent budget speakers, just dont plain on blasting music.

OS: Nothing special, but if its not too much more i would consider Media Center.

And what are you doing about a video card?
