I built this computer for just over 1000 dollars. My first time building one but it runs good.

Asus M3A motherboard PCI-E
NVidia GeForce 8800 GT
AMD Athlon 5200 x2 dual core 2.7 ghz
2 GB OCZ 800 mhz RAM
Seagate SATA 160GB HD
20x DVD-Rom Windows Vista Home Premium
Apevia x-Cruiser case black with blue LED lights came with 450W PS
Please give me some feedback to tell me if this is a decent built computer for my first time. Thanks

It looks nice, but did the build include the monitor? I'm asking because it sounds kind of overpriced, as my built (similar to yours, but with 4 gigs of ram and Q6600 + X-fi) costs just over $1000.

Eitherway, I would suggest that you get a new powersupply ASAP, Apevia isn't exactly known for their quality PSUs..
 
no it didnt not come with a monitor but the over 1000 was more of i had to buy 2 motherboards due to one being a dud. The guy a the store told me that when i get some cash to upgrade the power supply due to it being a little weak for such a big card and everything else. It's actually running good i dont lag in games and im loving the speed. My old computer was ment for just having one and going from that to a gaming computer its awsome but thanks for the reply......
 
we sent it into ASUS and they are gunna see if they can refurbish it and then give us it back. Or we go to the store if they dont getting to work or whatever and they give us our money back. So it should all work out id rather the money though save up for a better PSU
 
a store called best byte its the town over from me its pretty good store but it seems now that they are overpriced. After i priced out my computer now on newegg to see the difference i went to a online store thats Canadian that ships to anywhere in Canada it was under 900 still cheaper then what i paid. Next time ill be smarter and look around before i make my final decision
 
no i did it myself but then it took it into them to tell me what was wrong with my mobo and then they put a new one in for me. I wish i looked around before making myn final decision. Im not complaining i mean this computer is awsome i love it but i think now i could had some extra cash to buy a paintballgun lollll
