Im both lazy and not hardware tech-savvy enough to know the compatibility. Thanks in advance!
 
i can only see one thing. the prosessor is an am3 socked. and it says that the motherboard supports am2 and am2+
 
Ugh, nVidia chipset. nVidia doesn't even make AMD chipsets anymore. You're saving money sure, but... no idea how long nVidia will continue to release drivers for the board.
 
Updated it again, I probably found the best layout I could. This is the cheapest I can get while being able to run BFBC2 according to game-debate.
 
Can I save any money on this build?

Hi there, thought I would add my own PC build to this thread.
I am after advice on where I could save money.

USE: The computer is for my dad, he keeps asking for a computer where he can do video editing so I tried to put together a sort of multimedia capable system.
The limits of this video editing would not go past the basic vegas software, maybe some photoshoping and that's about it. More of a little hobby editing computer.

In saying that is there anything in this build that I can downgrade?

All these components I have found through MSY.com
