New PC build advice

[Tunez]

Thinking of upgrading my home computer, mostly used for the odd game and general use. I want it to be as upgradable as it can be, I thought to keep the budget down i would go for an AMD based system. I have been out of the loop with new technology for a few of months and any advice to keep the costs down or to make it more future proof would be great.

looks good to me, the only thing i might change is the cpu ie moving upto the 720be, it's got an unlocked multi so allot easier to overclock and faster out of the box

i've seen some of these on here running around 3.8 and you never know you might beable to unlock the 4th core

other than that it's a nice looking system

edit: i think if you wait to get windows there's an offer to get a free upgrade to win 7
