$300 Bang for the Buck build

[bladder23]

CPU: Athlon X2 4000+ Brisbane

Mobo: ASUS M2A-VM

RAM: 1GB DDR2 800 Patriot Signiture

Will add a 160GB HD, DVD burner and X1950 Pro, Case/PSU I already have.


How well will this OC? (later on if needed)

Primarily for basic usage, dreamweaver and photoshop. Some games as well.

why the mATX mobo? how is this a $300 build? more like $160 upgrade, which is nice. or are you figuring cost of hd, dvd, x1950 pro, etc as $140?

I like the build other than the mATX mobo. brisbane is a stud overclocker to 2.6+. lopri got his 4000+ brisbane on a mATX to 3.2 the other day. check out the cpus and overclocking forum for his info.

What games are we talking about here? Even if your games won't get much from it, I know photoshop will work much better with 2GB
