How many strean processors?

Wow it has alot better processor support than I thought it did. She's had this board for quite some time. You've helped me lots. I think she'll be getting a nice 7750 along with me and most likely a 4670 for a video card. Will the 128-bit memory interface hurt the gaming performance of the 4670's?

Not really. Depending on the game, the HD4670 performs on par with the 256-bi memory interface 9600GT card.

Oh and make sure that you update the BIOs first before you install the new X2 7750 CPU.

I always thought FSP made good quality PSUs. Well would this Xclio on newegg be good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189013 or the BFG that someone recommended on the first page?

FSP's current Epislion PSU platform is pretty much low-end. It has a high de-rating curve, out of spec ripple above 500W or so, etc. So yeah, FSP's quality has dropped significantly.

The BFG GS-550 that was recommended earlier is not that great of a PSU: rated at peak and at 25C. No proper review has been done on that XClio so can't comment on its quality. I highly recommend going with the Corsair 400CX PSU that I recommended earlier: It's of far superior quality than the GS-550 and has been confirmed to be so in the proper PSU review done by HardOCP:

So once again, I highly recommend getting the Corsair 400CX 400W PSU which will be enough for that system.
 
I'm sorry I didn't realize you had recommended a PSU. The corsair looks good to me but what kind of video card could it power if I wanted to upgrade the computer in the future?

According to the very useful Corsair PSU Finder, the Corsair 400CX is enough for a Athlon X2 CPU + just about any GPU around the 105W range. Like the HD4850, 9800GT, etc.

If you feel like you need more power and don't mind buying outside of Newegg.com, I highly recommend the BFG LS-550 PSU for just $3 more than the Corsair 400CX:

It's a higher quality PSU than the BFG GS-550 PSU recommended earlier.
 
I think I'll stick with the corsair. She's not going to need an extremely powerful GPU. The 4850's and 9800gt's would be more than enough for her needs. For now I'll get the corsair PSU, HIS 4670 GPU, and 7750BE and she'll be good :)
