Hi All,

I am building a new PC for the first time in a long time and wanted some advice on what I have picked out so far that fits within my budget:

MSI K9A2 Platinum AM2+ Phenom Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 920 Bx
4GB (4X1GB) / PC8500 / 1066MHz / CORSAIR / TWIN2X2048-8500C5D/ DOMINATOR SERIES
EVGA 9800GT 512MB PCI-Express Video Card
Corsair CMPSU-650TX 650W High Performance and Energy Efficient Power Supply
Thermaltake M9 Mid Tower

Any advice on this would be appreciated. Also a recommendation on a solid HD would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Major

Post Thought:
Then I saw this PC at Costco and wondered would I be just as well to buy it and upgrade the graphics card and PSU? Check the PC on Costco.com it is the ZT Q8200 Core 2 Quad 4GB DDR2 750GB HD.
