Looks good to me, you can't go wrong with an ASUS motherboard. I would go check out www.newegg.com or www.zipzoomfly.com and look for the same item or similar and see how much it would cost. I always get my computer hardware through newegg.

I haven't read up on hardware lately, but thats interesting that motherboard with the nvidia chipset supports an Intel chip. Don't nvidia chipsets usually just support AMD CPU's?

that system looks good to me too, only a pity for that 1Gb of RAM only - but you can't always get all what you want, I have to guess...
so it would be worth to buy it, in conclusion.

Jackal out.

@The Beev: No, Nvidia chipsets work just fine with Intel as well as AMD

I would look for a board that has the nForce 590 chipset on it as this supports higher GFX bandwidth speeds - full 16X. The 570 is half as fast at 8. Which is why I went for the M2N32-SLI as opposed to the M2N-SLI.
I would look at the P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP, at the very least that board would set you up nicely for furture upgrades.

I guess it all really depends on how much you want to spend, also if I was to add to any part of that it would be maybe crank it up to 2 gig of DDR2 800 Ram - Ram is good.

Cool, in that case I'm going with an Nvidia chipset for my next PC.
