Everything in there is pretty decent, though I would've suggested just dropping an extra $30 and going with the FX-6300 which uses less power and overclocks much further than the PII 965, but the Phenom II is still great. Games of today aren't as CPU-bound as a lot of wannabe tech-experts make them out to be.

I built a Gaming PC before xmas, an AMD build, and im delighted with it.

I did a lot of reading up, i learned so much about AMD & Nvidia, CPUs & GPUs, RAM, the motherboard etc... in the space of a week and did very well choosing the right parts but one thing i overlooked and went cheap on that i regretted big time. The PSU(Power Supply Unit).
I assumed the higher the wattage the better, so i bought this cheap 750w PSU. It basically collapsed from doing the windows experience rating just as i had everything up and going.

I did my research and learned a lot regarding PSUs. I ended up getting an Antec 550w PSU thats doing a great job for me.

i really hope more and more people switch over to AMD pcs.
they really great when it comes to cost effectiveness and quality. 2 main things which are hard to over-look.
sure, it may not be the best of the best with whats in the market but you get more for the amount you pay.
