looks pretty good dude. might i suggest considering a 500 gig hdd also, you may find as time goes on that 4 gigs of memory would be a good upgrade.

It's better to spend a little extra now to get the larger HD and more RAM now, than have to spend it now and again later.
Im new here, spend most of my time in the PC Hardware forums, and am working on my first build.

I certainly don't. They're cheap for a reason. Look at the stuff that comes in the three you've posted. Low grade potentially unreliable memory (1), a poor quality case and PSU, which is not only unreliable, but also extremely dangerous, and parts that perform so poorly you'll wish you hadn't bought a PC at all.

They're far from ideal, but they're not the worst bit about those barebone "deals", not by a long way.

Not the point, they're only cheap because the parts are crap. By buying better stuff you're just making it less crap and more expensive, you may as well do the job properly.

Theres an exception to every rule, and besides that you havent mentioned the parts in your barbone.
