Hey everyone. I know these threads come up daily, and on the one hand I'm sorry for adding to it, but I just can't click the buy button without getting more advice than a few friends who kinda know stuff. I'm buying a new computer with my tax return (the one time in the year I'm happy for federal with-holdings). I'm looking to spend around $500. I already have a GPU (4850 1gb) so that isn't part of the cost, which makes the $500 a bit more doable. I'm a gamer, and I want to be able to play anything out there currently and be safe for a few years while not having to worry about complex bios setting etc. I don't particularly care about O/Cing. I'm happy if I never have to go into the bios. Could you guys let me know what you think of this build please? I'm happy to take advice, esp on the motherboard and processor, as that's where I'm really torn right now. Also, I already have 1 of the listed HD, so I'm not worried about space being an issue, and I'm happy with the drive.
Thanks a lot, you guys helped me with my video card choice and I didn't regret it, any advice you guys have is welcome.
