Looks pretty good. The only suggestion I would make is getting a decent AM2 motherboard, as 939 is almost gone.

Try this CPU:

maybe a $100-$200 isn't that much of a deal to u, but i would wait 4 weeks for the cpu price war drop! then u could use the same $$$'s for a better cpu.

There was a price drop here this week for AMD CPUs. The 3800+ Venice is now $159.99 CDN. (Retail box).
