So I am in the process of looking at updating my computer. Working full time, I can afford to buy stuff more frequently, and since I love playing ArmA2, I was looking to building my new PC out of it. I just updated my PSU to a 500W its an Ultra LS 500, and I'll be keeping my case. But I was looking at this and for the price I didn't think it was too bad

What do you all think

Phenom II Quad Core

That's just the CPU, so I'll of course add the MOBO and Ram and a new graphics card (move on over to PCI-E)...need opinions

Thanks...and I'm sticking with AMD, so if you can stay within that thanks

.

Edit* I went on a whim and just went and bought it...I usually don't do that, but I said screw it, I can't beat that price unless I keep waiting and waiting, and putting if off, so I bought this, and within the next month or so I'll add everything else!

So put your recommendations for MOBOs and Cards (ATI preferably)

Just a question, why are there two Ethernet ports on MOBOs now?

If it's anything like mine then it's so you potentially could plugg multiple internet connections in at the same time and have them act as one single connection.
My GB EP45-DQ6 motherboard has a full 4 ethernet ports in the back. :rolleyes:

Yeah usually when I have my case in place, it doesn't move, so not a big issue if its not aluminum.
