have not picked the case yet as i will that up 2 him unless u guys have some good suggestions
nd we can narrow it down from there

also would a video card be necessary??
he would like to be able to watch movies trough HDMI output nd also surf the internet + burn movies at the same time

i prefer to keep it at under $600 nd the total is 653.92 so if anyone can recommened something cheaper with more value ill be willing to look it up

I usually don't comment on AMD builds because I don't do them and am not up on what's compatible with what, but I will say that a Logisys power supply is rubbish. A quality 550 watt power supply is $75 MINIMUM. I'd recommend you look at Antec, Corsair, and Seasonic for quality.

Take a look at an Antec Sonata 3 case with 500 watt power supply.

At that price with FREE shipping, you get both a high quality case and a high quality power supply at a very attractive price.

I was wondering wether that power supply would be worth it or not...thanks 4 the recomendation..
how is this case in terms of cooling??


i just noticed this processor

would it be better to get besides the rating of speed 2.6 nd the increased watt 95w
