I agree with glc, use a Socket 939. The 939 boards are newer technology, not terribly more money, and offer more upgradeability into the future.

Very good choice.
Also, you'd get a little boost from going with a dual channel RAM kit. (2 512MB sticks)

The A8N5X has 4 slots, so you could add another 2x 512 later if you needed.

Looks ok except for the power supply. There is no way that a 450w PSU and case are quality when they cost $38.
If you like the case itself, get it, but toss the power supply. Replace it with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103936 Good power supplies cost extra, but its worth it in the end. |

No Samsung. Unreliable. Get Lite-On. Corsair Value Select ram is a better deal. eVGA is a better manufacturer than XFX. WD drives are okay as long as they are SATA - their IDE drives have been having some issues.

You just took a very nice system and replaced parts with inferior parts. Asus is better than Gigabyte, eVGA is better than XFX, the Antec PSU is better than an Aspire - should I continue?
