Hey guys. This is the system I put together.

CPU: AMD Phenom 9750 2.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W 65nm Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA770-DS3 AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX All Solid Capacitor AMD Motherboard

Memory: A-DATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

Video Card: SAPPHIRE 100236L Radeon HD 3650 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card


I have all the necessary drives. I also have an FSP AX500-PN PSU. It's a 500 Watt PSU. I'm hoping that would be good enough for the system. I am going to overclock the phenom a bit, probably by like 100 Mhz or so.

Any advice is appreciated.
 
Any reason you went with AMD? For that much you could get a E8400/Q6600.

Motherboard would be something like P35-DS3L.

Your FSP power supply should be fine.
 
The usual questions:

- What's your overall budget?
- What are you using the computer for?
- Which monitor/resolution are you using?
- How long do you want your build to last?

Performance-wise, an Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad and P35 motherboard combination is the better choice. If you could afford to, I recommend that you should also get a better quality power supply. You could find several quality brands -- including Corsair, Silverstone, PC Power & Cooling, Antec (EarthWatts), and Seasonic, among others -- for under $100 per PSU.
