p/s. Is it if I choose AMD, I can only go with nvidia, or choose Intel, can go only with ATI? Not sure about this
first time customizing
On the 4850 its looking good so far better than I thought actually. the price is decent as well and keep in mind the 9600GT is almost a year old now. Haven't seen any temps or O/Cing tests on the 4850 yet but stock at that price you can't beat it

On the CPU I have had good luck with the Intel Duos personally on AMD I haven't had one in so long I can't really comment

Err, for AMD right, i don't think it needs a MYR400 mobo. Well, I'll recommand getting either the Abit AX78 or the Biostar TA780G which cost around 260-300 + hdd these day are kinda cheap..If i can recall.. 500gb only cost like 240? Dvd writer is around 75 (samsung) bout that GSO card, it's possible to get it at cheaper price + with 512mb (i think)..Hmm, a decent 500W psu should b enough (i'll recommand Silverstone ST50F which cost around 249)erm, if looking for cheaper hardwares, maybe i could help you ...

the 500GB available at my place is MYR 265 for seagate and MYR 255 for WD.

what about GIGA MA78GM-S2H HDMI for mobo? it is MYR 315.
psu I think leaning to Silverstone ST50F.

The problem is you can't even get more performance if you are willing to pay a little more.

Personally, I think E8000 series is the bang for the buck, overclock it to 4GHz without much issues. That is what value for money is.
