Newbie: Is this a good cpu/mobo combo?

[anandkapur]

Hi there,

It's been a long, long time since I built a machine, and I thought I'd run this by you before committing to it. I'm thinking of combining the following motherboard:

Foxconn A690GM2MA-8KRS2H Socket AM2 AMD 690G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

with the following CPU:

The idea is to have a basic system that can hook up to my HDTV and let me watch my movies, pictures, music -- a media center, I guess.

The mobo has a DVI port, which I thought would help -- I'm assuming my movies will look better over a traditional VGA hookup? It also has, what I believe, is one of the more decent onboard video chipsets -- AMD Radeon Xpress 1250 -- and that should help general usage experience. It's also very reasonably priced, something will help me keep the price of the system super low.

I chose the CPU because it's dual core (lots of processing power), great overclocking opportunities, and in general, it's pretty good value for money.

Please let me know what you think. I hope I'm not overlooking some very basic mobo-CPU compatibility issue.

Lastly, if this thread belongs somewhere else, or shouldn't exist at all since the issue has been answered before or isn't in the scope of the forum, I apologize.
