Well I would recommend you get a budge board like the Asus P5Kpl-vm, it has nearly everything in built like graphics, network card, sound card etc and it also supports all the new CPUs. Use that motherboard as a base and then check out some CPUs and get one that suits your budget

+1, just change to XMS2 DDR2-800 CL5, hec Orion 585W, and it should be great.
1) Not a HUGELY known company... Corsair is like the best of the best.
2) AData has been known to have slower speeds than advertised... you'd need to manually adjust it to the speed you want.
3) It's more expensive
4) It's slower and Corsair quality beats all...
