hi and welcome,

basically will need to know when is ur next upgrade after this, and also what you will be using the rig for. Because if the next upgrade will be more than a year, amd dual core will be a better choice.

If its less than 6mths next upgrade, ddr2 will be better choice.

and the acer wide screen has a couple of bad reviews.

Not sure about price
More than 1 year :


amd x2 3800+
asus/gigabyte mobo 939 mobo
7600gt
sb xfi extreme music
2x 1 gig crosair value select
hitachi 250g sata 2 hdd
dell 20" widescreen or viewsonic wide screen
generic casing
seasonic s:12 600w psu/silverstone 550w psu

as for lesser than 6mths

go for ddr2 or wait for conroe/am2 but will exceed ur budget

haha i have been waiting for a long long time already before i got my this sum of money...it's all my savings during this long period...i cant afford the new intel platform so no point waiting anymore...
