I'm considering a build for a friend. I believe he is considering some video editing but mostly general internet, music, office apps, etc. and possible light gaming. The AMD Phenom II X6 1090T seems like a REALLY good deal based on rankings at www.cpubenchmark.net. Here is the build I have put together at Newegg:
- MSI 880GM-E43 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Item #:N82E16813130293 $79.99
- LG DVD±RW SuperMulti Drive Black SATA Model GH22NS50B Item #:N82E16827136216 $16.99
- G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Item #:N82E16820231193 $47.99

- Grand Total: $544.93
This looks like he could have a REALLY FAST computer for $550! What are your thoughts? What am I missing? Would it be worth another $48 to go from 4GB to 8GB memory?
