Hi everybody, I'm building my first pc and would like to know if i have any incompatibilities here, also, my grand total for this build is $277.34 including shipping. (that's my limit)

If anyone can help me find better deals maybe by locating combos etc. I challenge you to do so!

Thank you very much in advance!!!

...you've got almost the exact same motherboard as mine (GA-M61...); sounds like a newer version...very decent m/b (although probably not a hardcore gaming m/b)...and easy to overclock, if you're so inclined, if you install the EasyTune utility that comes with it...which also allows you to tweak your CPU fan settings and monitor system voltages, temps and fan speeds...
...can you spare an extra 29.00 for the X2 6000+ Windsor CPU?...http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819103773...not a quad-core, to be sure, but it still flies!...and still getting good reviews from users even though it's been on the market for 2-3 years (although you might want to use an oversized CPU cooler with it; the factory cooler is OK, but after I replaced mine with a 'Blue Orb', the CPU has been running a good 10ºC cooler)...
...what will you be using for drives (HDD, CD/DVD, etc.)?...

Isn't this a much better card at the same price?

Hi Nazcar,

I ran across your post and wanted to jump in. Where is your hard drive? What about the OS you are going to buy? Are you forgetting about these? Will you be using the computer for any kind of Gaming? Or just normal usage?

Let me know.

[Nazcar]

it sucks but i have to go without new hd's for now, too broke... i'll just be using my existing xp os as well until windows 7 hits the market

mainly gaming (vanguard)

thanks for the input!
