Hi all,

Is this a good deal? It's for a customer who wants the relevant components to keep his PC going for a couple more years, he wants to play Supreme Commander and Command and Conquer type games on it nicely. Is this a decent rig? He has the case and monitor etc.

Also does this CPU come with a stock cooler? He won't be overclocking, will I need to buy some thermal paste as well? Thanks.

Just realised, is that CPU compatible with this mobo? It states AM2+

The AMD CPUs come with a stock cooler with thermal paste pre-appiled so you will be ok there.

I'd suggest that card over the one you have listed, its worth paying the extra. What res is he thinking of gaming at?

Didn't ask him which res he wants to play at. His monitor is a TFT and looks like its either 17 or 19 so I shouldn't imagine he'd need such a high res anyway.
