O and I told him my budget is like 600 bucks. I didnt include windows vista in there.

 

What is your opinion?

Any info would be great! Thanks

I am a ATi/AMD fan boy but you can do better than that CPU. Especially with a $600 budget.

 

Use this one instead $20 more and you go from 2.7 Ghz to 3.0 Ghz - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103773

Hmm, amd.

 

It is a good build for $600, but I dont like amd cpu.

It would be considered a good gaming desktop but calling it an outright beast would be overkill. Not sure if I could ever call a dual core AMD a beast...

 

Nice memory, PSU, and CPU cooler though.

Naaa... I personally know this right here is plenty for anything you need to do.... from photoshop to video converting to having 40 programs running at one time.... to browsing the forums on my right monitor while gaming on the left... it was ~600.

A bigger graphics card wouldn't hurt... I love the case 100%.... the MB is real cheap but has some good overclocking options. It gave me hell with the integrated nic and sound. I finally got the sound working, but was forced to add a pci nic. I got 2 of those hdd's and had a spare raptor laying around so I just run os off of #1 games and such off #2 and dreamweaver / photoshop anything else off #3.
