New system, first build, will it work?

[scottymac]

So, I've decided to build as my old 1.6ghz processor and 256mb ram 6 year old pos isn't cutting it.

What do you think about the following? It looks like what i have configured will all work together, and if my price match is accepted i'm going to go ahead with it.

The MOBO has onboard video, which for now will have to suit my needs. I would like to do some gaming on it eventually, and when i have more funds saved up i'll pick up a video card.

So, any suggestions?

Thanks very much for your insight! i guess i'll have to find a mobo that supports AM2 then, and one that has HDMI with onboard graphics.

I know the PSU is overkill (for now), but i will definitely be upgrading from onboard graphics to a gtx series card. The one you posted is a great price, but it isn't crossfire certified either.

Anyone else?

That RAM is triple channel and designed for the Intel i7 CPU's. You need to look for a dual channel kit.

Are you gonna overclock the cpu?

Probably, with air cooling.
