Finaly after months of researching I feel I have found a great build for my needs and at an affoardable price... It's time to order

But this will be my first time building a PC ever and I only have so much money to spend if somehow something goes wrong

Now I know there's always a chance of a dead product which the warrantys will cover.

But can anyone spot any other potential problems..

If there are none that's all I need to know

I would go with the 4200+ for the price difference.

I would get Windows MCE

I don't trust "3dfuzion" never even heard of them, I would go with a company with a bit more history

"3DFuzion and the 3DFuzion logo are trademarks of BFG Technologies, Inc."

I think they are to BFG what ASRock is to Asus. The "value line" without all the features.

think it's realy worth it?

I'm cool with this OS - using it right now

It's BFG (which is a good brand)

I just ordered all my parts Thursday. I decided to go with the 4200+, for 30 bucks difference it seemed like a decent middle-ground. The jump to the next price point is much steeper. (125 bucks for the same 200MHz per core increase, even though that's a lower percentage increase. Crazy.)
