For AMD AM2 socket systems need to use DDR2 800 for stabilty. Don't need a Sli motherboard if using an ATI video card.
Wouldn't use the PSU that comes with the case, Aspire PSUs are not that good. The Intel Core 2 Duo is top dog at the moment.

Motherboard: Asus P5B
RAM: Corsair ValueSelect DDR2-667 Hard Drive: Get an OEM, Seagate 7200.10s are very good Power supply: You should never use the one that comes in Apevia cases - they are junk, and could very well permanently damage your hardware. I recommend Antec, FSP, or Seasonic

That looks fine. Switch the hard drive to a Seagate 7200.10 series with SATA.

Okay, now I have a couple of things that need to be quickly changed:
Motherboard: The P5B vanilla (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131030) is a better choice for you since you don't need onboard video. Hard drive: The Seagate 7200.10 is an excellent drive. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148144)' Some people may disagree with your power supply choice, but all the Antec I've used have been awesome and they have a good background, so we will see what others say. They ARE on the recommended list. Last edited by newbuilder14; 01-14-2007 at 07:45 PM. |

Looks fine to me - do you need a sound card? If so, look into the X-Fi series cards. Seasonic and Silverstone make good power supplies, too.

The general rule of thumb is to hold off buying a sound card at first. Try the onboard sound, it is good enough for most people. Then order a card if you decide you need one.
