not bad for $220 right? I have been out of the loop for a while now on the computer building. What do you guys think about the 2 products listed?

Edit: I guess if no one has any advice to give, then these are a pretty good deal... :D

For the price, I don't think you could beat those by much. Only thing I'd warn about is DX10 being not too long away, and requiring a new card. Depends on how much you like your graphics, I suppose.

I do likes my graphics... not enough that DX10 will make me run out and buy a new card for a long while though.

7600GT for a little more would be better. Also might look at an MSI or DFI board. Not too shabby though.

i know a couple people that have used biostar motherboards and havnt been happy with them for that much money you could get a gigabyte or a asus with the same features. and i agree a 7600gt would be a better way to go but only because i prefer nvidia
