1141425	2010-10-07 06:16:00	If you replace the graphic card with a HD5750, or even an integrated HD4250, then it's squarely a budget PC. An Athlon II X2 245 is about the same level as a Pentium E5400! Motherboard uses old 740G chipset, which is not very futureproof. Get something starting with an 8; some 890's, even 880's will support Phenom X6. 120GB HDD is TOOOOO small, IMHO. In fact, it's more economical to go for a 500GB HDD. And get a larger monitor and/or better keyboard and mice if you have enough left over. Conclusion: graphic card definitely doesn't fit the rest of the system. You'd probably feel like you're not using a $1000 graphics, with all the other parts slowing your graphics down. p.s. were you carefully calculating the totals? If you are, then forget about my post.

I don't have this much to spend on my new PC! eh?, i dont know what Ive missed but there is nothing wrong with the above combo as far as I can see, if anything get the 1Gb model 460, not 768Mb, you have a full HD LCD and the GPU will need all that memory! edit - The case is a bit naff!

It's *not* just a RAM difference. For a meagre $30 increase the 1GB card is significantly better. I'm not a huge fan of Cooler Master PSUs. Corsair would be my choice, but it'll be ~$60 more probably.	inphinity (7274)

1141429	2010-10-08 06:11:00	To SolMiester and inphinity: I've chosen the 768MB model over the 1GB one is because I hear that the 1GB one has 128bit memory bandwidth, while the 768MB has 192 bits. Of course, I might be mistaken. I used the same PSU, case, and burner as OP's. But if we take those things into account then we can only get an i3 :p	LynX (14542)
