If you plan on running dual screens you might need a better GPU than that
Also I would do an intel build as they currently run faster in games for less money

Not a bad build IMO...I'd get an AM3+ board though, and grab a Rosewill Hive Psu, they are on sale right now...and if you can at least get a 6870...the 965 is a capable chip...if you want a better upgrade path with Intel, you can do a 6870 and a 2120 build for under $600...

Lmao...

Change the mother board to AM3+ (you have AM3)
Get a better Power supply - the Rosewill hives are on sale, great psu and modular
Try to bump the 6850 to a 6870 if you can

If you would rather have an Intel build that will last a little longer, perform a little better and give you better upgrade options for the future, you can do that for about $585 with a 6870 graphics card included, and a better case/mobo/gpu/psu

A little easier to understand?
