hi everyone-

i've been ordering parts for my first rig the last couple weeks and am now down to just getting a hard drive, cpu, and motherboard. i just thought i'd throw this out there for any advice.

here's what i have so far-

antec 902 case
nvidia 460 768 video card
antec 550w power supply
corsair 2x4gb ram

i'm going to be using this rig for light gaming, like wow and steam stuff, and will probably get diablo III when it releases.

i've been looking at these individually...

Newegg.com - ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

Newegg.com - AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana 3.3GHz 3 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W Triple-Core Desktop Processor ADX455WFGMBOX

BUT there is also this bundle sale and i've been having trouble with the specs and #'s with my limited knowledge...

Micro Center AMD Processor Bundle Savings

so i'd like some guidance.

any other general tips are greatly appreciated, and special thanks for lasereth for helping to this point w/ my vid card.
