New Build

[mr.erik]

Hey Guys, going to be building a new system in a few weeks and was wanting to know your thoughts and opinions.

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-MA790GP-UD4H

Processor - AMD Phenom II X3 710

Ram - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066

Hard Drive - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s

Power Supply - Antec EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V

Going to try to keep this build under 500 dollars and upgrade to more ram and nicer hard drive and graphics card later on. Have a couple older systems im going to part out for this build also.

Please answer the questions listed in the "Asking for Build Help?" sticky. Even though you've given us some details to work with, in order to give you some tailor-made advice, we need a few more details.

Yes, please answer the sticky questions.

Though, one thing I'll point out now... get this drive instead, for the same price but faster performance (25%-30% faster):
$55 - WD Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200RPM SATA300 16MB Cache
