I just ordered all of this!!
Link
Originally $379 and I got it all for $126!!!
Now I need..
-A cheap AM2 Cpu Cooler
-Hard Drive (or I might use one of my 2 500GB's)

Now I have a few questions
1- How far will the Athlon 64 X2 5000 Go to on that board?
2- Should I get a little GPU such as say a.....8800 gt or something that is not that demanding?
 
4670 would be better for such a crappy powersupply.. Don't forget to order a heatsink since its OEM CPU.
 
1) No idea. Probably not that far considering the quality
2) Hell even onboard video is too much for that PSU. Power UP is well known for making low quality PSUs. I would barely trust it with onboard video let alone a dedicated video card.
 
That CPU can reach around 3.2Ghz max, IIRC. Pickup the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro; should be$20 @ newegg.

A similar combo at newegg would have only been $20 more. Not a totally bad deal.
