Any suggestion ? THNX!
 
your RAM needs to be 1.5 volt

Why cripple file transfers and game loading times with a green drive ? The SSD is too small to handle all your programs
Get the samsung F3 1 gig instead

Better and cheaper Mb

But Fatal1ty wont get a cut

Rosewill psu? I have my doubts . Maybe the corsair instead

Any AM3 cooler will fit
 
wait for the cpu's to come out before committing to buying. If this is a gaming build an AMD chip is not what you want. Also, why a gigabyte board? why would you want anything that still runs on the old BIOS system instead of UEFI? go with Asrock if you want a decent budget board.
