Hi guys
I have decided to build a new set up. Could you guys give me some feedback?
Antec Sonata 1 Case (reusing)
HP monitor 1440x900 (reusing)
3gb DDR2 ram @ 667mhz (reusing)
HD5750 $119.99 after MIR

OCZ 500Watt PSU $29.99 after MIR

AMD Athlon x 3 435 $81.38

Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H AMD785G mATX AM2+ PCI-E DDR2 $73.99
http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=41233
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA2 3.5IN 8.5MS 7200RPM 16MB $46.99
http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...0&promoid=1068
Total before MIR and taxes= $ $397.34
Is there anyway I can reduce the cost? Is getting a motherboard with on board graphics and then using a separate video card fine? Will staying with DDR2 be fine or should I go DDR3?
Thanks in Advance
