Looking at getting this ( TigerDirect.com 404 Error - Page Not Found ) Along with a EVGA 460m Graphics card and a PSU. Is there anything else I would need? This is my first Barebone and I'm planning to play COD Black Ops.
Thanks!

that kit has some old/crappy parts. you could get these parts for about $3 more (excluding shipping).

you would get a newer am3 mobo with ddr3 ram instead. the cpu may have 1 core less, but it is a newer gen; it will perform about the same or better than the older quad that was in that bundle, but it will also run cooler, consume less power and OC better. you might even be able to unlock it to a full phenom ii quad.
also, i listed a 1tb hdd because the bundle you found did, but if you don't need that much space you could save a couple bucks with a smaller hdd.
