New Mid-range PC

[cubedude]

Hey, i am trying to make a mid-range PC, and I found a few components I think will work well together on Newegg. I am trying to keep the price around $300. I was just wanting to get a little bit of feedback before I make the purchase.

you would need ddr3 ram for that mobo.
Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864BN1337

what do you plan on using this pc for though?

It would be used mostly for standard PC tasks like web browsing, but I would also like to be able to play some games on it as well.

Also, I was not aware that you could only use DDR3 on that MoBo, I thought it only had to be 240 pin, so thanks for the advice.

Also any recommended price cuts I could make without sacrificing a lot of performance are welcome.

if it were an am2+/am3 mobo, then you would use ddr2, but if it's just am3, you have to use ddr3.

both ddr2 and ddr3 are 240-pin, they are just notched differently to prevent you from mixing them up.

you could save some money by getting this combo with the mobo and an antec psu.

and use some of the saved money to get a gfx card that's a bit faster.
