My BB sucks balls for stocking new equipment in. I have to order all I want online to get what I want in a timely matter or i'd be twiddling my thumbs for months waiting for BB to get stuff in.

Its a decent system, but i've built two of the SK41G2V2 systems and I like them better for the following reasons.
1. 250watt PSU vs 200 on the 43G. More power for higher and components and quieter
2. nForce 2 chipset. Nuff said, not impressed with Via personally

Take it slow, read the instructions and double check everything and you'll be fine
Make sure to put on the correct amound of thermal compound on the CPU die. If your not sure on the amount, put a small rice sized grain on the die, spread it out with a small flat edge object and then apply...
