At this point, I would recommend against an Athlon system. A better choice would be to go with a SB Pentium G620 and Intel Media Series board like DH67BL or DH67GD. Pricing is about the same, maybe slightly higher on the Intel side. You’ll get a better experience though. The Intel NIC, BIOS, utilities and overall better board are worth the negligible additional cost.
Also, get at least a 60GB SSD.
What type of games do you care about playing? Do you suspect you’ll want to use a discrete GPU for gaming?
