I figured I would post up my first completed build. It is a super budget build and also my first attempt at building and overclocking.
__________________Parts List: Case - PowerSpec mATX CPU - AMD Sempron 140 CPU Cooler - Stock (for now )Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H Power Supply - Termaltake TR2 430W HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue WD1600AAJS 160GB 7,200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Other Cooling - Thermaltake HDD Cooler, CM 120mm front case fan. So far I have managed to get the 2nd core unlocked and overclock the CPU from 2.7GHz to 3.1GHz. I'm sure that is nothing to write home about but I am pretty impressed with myself that this thing even works still...LOL. I did my best to hide the wires from view, but this case is very small and didn't have many places to hide. Please excuse the cell pics. I just finished and my camera is in the bedroom with my sleeping fiance. ![]() I would love to keep going with the overclocking, but I feel like I should invest in a better CPU cooler (any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!) before I venture any further. The CPU temps have already jumped from 28* to around 33* with the overclock. Thanks for any comments guys, I'm here to learn!

That build looks very good and what was your total cost to built it?

Thanks guys! My cost was only about $250, but that is a little misleading b/c I was given RAM and an OS by a friend of mine.

Yeah, thats a heck of a price, bang for buck. When those Semprons unlock to an Athlon II your basically paying $40 for a $79 processor.
