Price Range?

Intended purpose?

Any reason for going AMD? (Not that there's much wrong with them...)

You've got all the necessary parts there (I'm assuming you've already got keyboard, mouse, monitor and OS), the CPU fan will come with thermal paste pre-applied, the motherboard will come with all necessary cables. It does seem a bit of a curious mix between a relatively high-end motherboard and low-end CPU but is that to allow for future upgrading more easily?

Only thing, assuing its a budget build that I can see missing is a graphics card...

missing a graphics card and you may want to try find the black edition 5000+ CPU, multiplier unlocked so you can overclock it quite well. but it all depends on budget.

Whoops, yes, I'd totally forgotten about that for some reason.

Yes, it does. I really should have just looked it up right away but I've got a major dislike of the Asus website as it usually seems to be slow and useless.

thank for all the replies yes i do have keyboard mouse OS and monitor (well my mum doesnt think i can build a pc and she said that if it works she will get me a new monitor

) i will be upgrading to the phenom it's a bit out of the price range yet because i am looking at the black edition, and i already have a 4850 and blu-ray drive sealed in boxes but my current pc is not up to scratch on running it. how is the motherboard has anyone had any problems with them thier are no reviews on it

thanks again
Hassan
