Default New Build

Thinking of the following build. Was wondering if I could get more bang for the buck going to AMD or save some money. Please post what chip and mobo would swap out.

Thanks

Default Re: New Build

For an AMD build, you could consider this:
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-US2H AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma 2.7GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Dual-Core black edition Processor - Processors - Desktops

Overall the 7750 is cheaper and faster than the E5200:
