This is well under the budget so if you need an OS or want to choose a nicer case or better clocking Ram then you have that option but for the price you have a very fast system at stock

What are you not sure about? You effectively have 2x 3700 San Diego chips on one core so it is fast in single cored operation but will excel for multitasking or dual core specific programs. You could choose a dual core Opteron if you want to go for larger overclocks maybe and you do get 2mb L2 cache but otherwise the X2 4400 is a good CPU.

Just my friend said something about them that i cant remember, another friend spec'd me this.. what you think?

Ok i edited my last post with the updated gfx are we all good now

I also have another question the GFX card is using a DVI port to connect the monitor right? well on my monitors i dont have a DVI port is there an adapter of some kind i can get?

 

[bbK]

lol, happy now

The graphics card will include the adaptor that you need

Are you 100% sure about the GFX coming with the adapter?
