New AMD budget gamer
Hi friends!
I'm building a new AMD gaming build with an Athlon II X3 460 (pre-selected) What do you recommend for a Motherboard, RAM (speed), PSU, optical (maybe Blu-Ray), HDD? Budget, around $500-550. Thank you. |

I also have a AMD 6850 I'll be using and a micro atx case or a mid tower already.
Choosing the motherboard has been challenging as some have good reviews and some don't have the best reviews I was hoping for. I think I like the ASUS boards or maybe the gigabyte AM3+. |

jdeb, I noticed this patriot RAM also, I could use another SD card and it's
a little cheaper. It's specs are the same. What do you think? |
