That's the main stuff, just wanted to get some oppinions on whether it sounds good or if there's some better stuff I could get (but still decent price).


UPDATE 2/19: Alright, I've come up with a quad core comp and I got a better video card, I'll likely only get one of them to begin with though.

ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard

SAPPHIRE 100225L Radeon HD 3870 512MB 256-bit GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card

AMD Phenom 9500 Agena 2.2GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core Processor Model HD9500WCGDBOX

OCZ Gold 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2G8004GK

APEVIA ATX-AS520W-BK ATX 520W Power Supply



If you ever plan on running VMWARE, or Hyper-V. Then take in consideration that the AMD Phenom 9500 has a TLB Bug.

Also take in note that new motherboards will have a patch applied that give or take, take away 10% performance.

The TLB bug will occur once in a blue moon, but when it happens the system will hang-up. And yes, it does occur, but 99% of the time when running Virtual software.

And the AMD's don't perform as Phenomanal as what they wanted us to believe.

If I was you I would go with a Intel Core 2 Qaud. Q6600 on n45 and 12MB cache, 1333FSB, to be released soon.

- They have VT
- Perform better then the AMD's
- Overclock better incase you wan't to overclock
