    Tsk, you are scrimping a bit on the power supply.. its up to you, the cheaper they are the more risk there is

    If you plan on gaming you'll need a graphics card

    Better build and sill within budget:

    AMD Athlon II X3 455 "Boxed" 95W, Sockel AM3
    MSI 760GM-P33, Sockel AM3, mATX, PCIe
    Samsung SH-223C bare schwarz SATA
    4GB-Kit DDR3 Crucial Value PC1333 CL9
    Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB, SATA II (HD502HJ)
    Xigmatek Asgard II Midi Tower - black/black, ohne Netzteil
    Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 450W

    Total €296,00 after shipping. Proper PSU, better motherboard and graphics, better hard drive. Not as good CPU, but you have a really good chance of unlocking it into a full Phenom II X4 with L3 cache, which would be better than the one you have selected. Even if it doesn't unlock it will run fine.

    Looks a bit all over the shop if you ask me. What do you intend to use the PC for?

    Do not order the above PC there are strange choices in there

    Start a separate thread - give the budget and exactly what you intend the rig for, what games u want to play and on what res monitor you will be using
