Yea doesn't look to bad, the processor is nice. If your planning on gaming you will want to upgrade the GPU and maybe the RAM.

Why do you say that? Is that comment based on one doa board you had? Gigabyte make fairly nice boards.

Why? i have a gigabyte board and its a great motherboard.

If your doing any gaming i would get 1 gig more ram and upgrade the videocard to a 7600GS or 7600GT.

looks good, but you really did wimp out on the graphics card, but then agian you might not have been into gaming.

dont got money, as of right now, i was on a 600 dollar budget, but i will be upgrading the ram, 1gb more, and the gfx, thinking maybe radeon x1900xtx.

But the price is good for the comp?
