Hi Guys, been awhile since I posted here on the PR Forums. That's because my little slimline Dell, well, died. It died around December 14. I've been without PR for over 2 months now. I'm about to go insane!!! I'm asking here for some advice on stuff. I already have a disk drive, HD, and video card from the dell, but I'm needing some advice on the rest. So far I've picked out these from newegg:
Newegg.com - Antec Two Hundred Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards
Newegg.com - Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC 430W ATX12V V2.2 Intel Core i7 Compliant Dual 80mm Fans Full Cable Sleevings Power Supply - Power Supplies
Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model BL25664BN1337 - Desktop Memory
(Possibly another stick of that in the future)
Newegg.com - AMD Athlon II X4 630 Propus 2.8GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
Constructive Critisism Welcome! I'm trying to keep my budget under $400. I don't really want anything MSI, due to their high rate of failure I have seen many times.

Get a more powerful PSU!
Think of getting some other memory with better timings. G.Skill, Mushkin, HyperX, Team Group and Corsair would be better modules for gaming... Tighter timings!
Always buy memory that your manufacturer has tested and recommended. Not doing that can get you errors you can't fix without replacing the memory modules!
