I think if you want something thats going to last you will need to spend more money. Also what will you be using it for?

 

[dmw2692004]

just normal web browsing and ocassinal gaming, nothing to major.

I would upgrade the PSU to something a tad bit more sturdy, but other than that it looks good for the price.

for 200.00 more you could significantly improve the staying power and performance....

Dump the Biostar board and go with something like MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, etc. For a PSU you'll probably need at least 500W...the 500W Hipro is a good PSU.

Here's a good MSI board for $53 -

This Thermaltake PSU is a pretty good base PSU as well for only $40 -

I'd avoid the Thermaltake PSU - it's a rebadged HEC 300W unit, and an older ATX 1.3 design only capable of +12V@18A. Keeping under $40, I'd grab an XClio 450BL

why should i get that MSI board, when the board i have listed is SLi and in the future i might run SLi to play games on my 50 inch plasma. The MSI is Microatx also, i have a ATX case, why would i want a smaller mobo when i got the room for a bigger one? hahah, and the PSU isnt that great, i have had bad experiances with thermatke CPUS.
