[delirium330]

placing this order tomorrow, wanted to get final thoughts on if all this is going to work okay together... thanks! won't be used for gaming or overclocking, just some amateur video editing and multitasking. goal is to build a solid machine with good brands, reliability, and upgrade-able for the future. i have an OS already and keyboard/mouse.

Everything looks solid. But Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100253L Radeon HD 4650 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
is probably a better choice of video card. It's cheaper and will outperform a 9500gt.

Your Mobo had a memory standard of 1066. Are you sure you don't want to fork a few more greens for some better ram?

great suggestion on the video card and RAM. im a noob so i didnt realize i could do the 1066 ram, will i see a nice improvement with that RAM at 1066, even though the timings are worse vs the 800? looks like the price is negligable..

 

[stb1swat]

I don't actually know the performance difference of the timings. The mushkin is about the best you can do from newegg.

 

[Evolv]

He doesn't need 1066 ram. 800 will do just fine. The PI Blacks are way better than those Mushkins.

 

[delirium330]

guess i'll stick with the PI blacks, everything else look okay?

 

[Evolv]

The HD4650 would be a good choice. But other than that it looks good.
