Computer upgrade

[izzy92020]

I'm thinking of getting these components, I was thinking of getting the better Asus MB... but to try and bring the price down.. I chose the lil smaller (cheaper) one.

NewEgg Parts List

I used to overclock, but haven't done so in years... so overclocking is not really an issue to consider at this time.

Any recommendations as to something I should change?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like a great system for $800.

I might spend another $10-20 to buy a different power supply like the Seasonic S12 SS-650HT, but the Antec might be made by Seasonic itself. I haven't done a PSU comparison recently so someone else might have better suggestions.

You should be able to get the 4850 cheaper if you go with a different manufacturer. You can find them now for $150ish.

The particular Antec he chose is made by Delta if I'm not mistaken, but it's also more power than he needs for a dual core and a single graphics card.

Also, since you're not overclocking there's no reason to buy DDR2-1066. DDR2-800 will be cheaper and perform just as well.
