Decent system for the price?
Thinking of the following system. It's around $500.00, so good price. I like to game - but not a HARDCORE gamer. I like to play CS Source, BF2, WOW at high settings and resolution.
What you think? I would be curious of your opinions

The list looks ok. I'm a little concerned with your Motherboard choice. Gigabyte is ok... Asus has a better track record and is hands down a better quality manufacturer. I would look at the ASUS M2N-MX SE as an alternate. Besides having 6 channels for audio versus the Gigabyte's 3, it has an updated southbridge and they cost about the same (54.99 for the Asus). Plus, it's an ASUS board. But If I'm getting this right, the MB and CPU are bundled. that may be the way to go if price is your biggest concern.
Good Luck
