Looks good actually.

Personally I'm a memory freak though, so I stuff good memory in every rig that I build. Those G-Skill PI blacks are nice too you know

Which mobo does it have now?

The old Gigabyte GA-M61P-S3 mated with a X2 5800 clocked to 3.2.
Major issues with corrupted OS (lack of firewall and anti-virus).

Doing a XP repair tomorrow, clean swipe, reusing parts for my daughter antique upgrade from a P4.

Yeah in that case you'd be better off just replacing the board.

It's time for the upgrade because I haven't done a build in a little over a month. It's time anyway. You've obviously never heard a teenage whine about not having a working computer.

Can anyone configure an Intel setup for the same price?

Well you could always get the PII 720 BE and a mobo that will unlock that 4th core best bang for the buck..

An oc'd 720 would have a hard time besting the 940 in video work.
I think I'm mostly looking for a GOOD mobo 780 / 790 and ram.

I need a quad core for film editing (movies & music). I've already got a E8400 and E8500 in the house. The dual core Wolfdales can't match the quad.

everything's good.

it's either get a cheaper board so that you can have 8gigs of ram.

or wait till the 945be comes out and get ddr3.
