Thanks to all eggxperts who advise me through threads and forum!

I did a little research on it and changed some parts. I chose this build to maximize the performance with the lowest budget I could get.

I will buy graphic card when condition's available for me.

Is this build good to go?

Thank you.

If you absolutely need a computer then that's an ok set-up... jus in my opinion I'd hold off till I had atleast 800 and build something much nicer and better perfoming.

here look at this...

hmm.. 800 seems little too hard for me but I'll take a look at it. Thanks!

No prob ^^

heres a cheaper mobo

ECS A780GM-A AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

ram:

OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2P800R22GK - Retail

a bit more upfront but theres a MIR and the timings are more suited for gaming.

aim to get this:

SAPPHIRE 100235L Radeon HD 3470 256MB 64-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail

hybrid crossfire will give you good bang for buck with gaming, it scales quite nicely.

well, I'd suggest using the Gigabyte 780G motherboard over the ECS one.  ECS really isn't all that great of a motherboard brand, and the giagabyte motherboard has more features, as well as full CPU overclocking support. I used one of those recently on a budget computer build for a friend, and it worked great.  Plus, the Gigabyte board will allow you to overclock the onboard graphics. 

 rapidattack, I don't see any mention of a power supply in your build.  It's very important to use a good-quality power supply in your build. 

Currently, there are a couple power supplies on sale that should be able to handle your computer fine:

The Antec Earthwatts 430watt power supply is on sale for $30 w/ free shipping right now at newegg.  It's a high-quality seasonic-made power supply with high efficiency and a quiet fan.  You can read a review of an Antec Earthwatts power supply at JonnyGuru.com. 

The OCZ StealthXStream 500watt power supply is on sale for $35 w/ free shipping right now at newegg.  It's a good quality FSP-made power supply, although the fan isn't as quiet as the Antec Earthwatts fan.  You can read a review of an OCZ StealthXStream power supply at HardwareSecrets.com. 

 I'd recommend the Antec Earthwatts power supply.  Between the quiet fan, the high efficiency, and high quality construction, it's a great power suppl.  Plus, 430watts is more than enough for that computer. 

the ECS board is actually very good, go read some reviews on it. yes they tend to make low quality products but this black edition one is really decent. it too can overclock (big shocker right?) the CPU and the IGP. not to mention that it is ATX not mATX giving you an additional 3 expansion slots.

well, yes, it can overclock, but to a very limited extent.  From the review of the ECS 780G motherboard at TweakTown:

TweakTown:

Unfortunately, without any real voltage adjustments or HT link dividers we didn’t get past 208MHz FSB; so this board is not aimed at overclockers.

On the other hand, the Gigabyte board has a much better complement of overclocking features, including full voltage control, and HT link dividers.  I was able to push an AMD 4200+ CPU up to around 3ghz on that board. 

Having a full ATX board is nice, true.  However, the ECS board is still missing some things, like the DVI ouput.  

I guess you just have to decide what's most important to you.  Low price, expansion slots, DVI output, overclocking features.  

Thanks for the correction ComWiz!

I recently updated the list above, and still wondering the mobo.

I will have to choose on this by myself.

I thank to Aedion and CompWiz who brought up the ideas!
