AMD Build - $800 budget

[moodyblues100]

I am putting together a list of components for an AMD based build. I suggested a core 2 duo build, the guy likes AMD. He likes to play Supreme Commander, which from my research requires some horsepower, but his budget is around $800.

Motherboard: ASUS M2N-E Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra $99.99
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Windsor 2.8GHz Socket AM2 $185.99
Video: EVGA 256-P2-N541-T2 GeForce 7600GS 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 $89.99
RAM:
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) $99.00
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3120811AS 120GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb $52.99
Card Reader:
SABRENT CRW-UINB 52-in-1 USB 2.0 Internal Card Reader w/ USB 2.0 Port $12.99
DVD-RW:
PHILIPS 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with 12X DVD-RAM Write Black IDE interface (ATAPI) Model SPD2413BD - Retail $32.99
Power Supply: Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 ATX12V 500W Power Supply $69.99
Case: LOGISYS Computer CS822BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower $29.99
OS: Microsoft Windows Vista 32-Bit Home Premium $111.99

Total: $786.90 + shipping and tax

I do not know much about the card readers, but he needs one for SD and memory sticks. Also unclear about the different named CPUs Windsor, Brisbane, Toledo, Manchester, etc.

Suggestions or clarifications appreciated.

I am currently using the ASUS M2N-E in one of my computers and it is great so far. Good build in general, here is a link to some core specs.

Different cores have different specs, some faster and some slower. They may also be made on a different manufacturing process.

I would suggest the Windsor as you have, I believe it is the most capable one.
