Default New Computer

Hi all

As some may already know, I'm an idiot towards computer hardware. Processors, motherboards, and all those cross my eyes and make me dizzy. I'm interested in the end result and how it works.
I've looked at how-to sites about building computers but I'd learn it much quicker hands-on and I don't currently have that option.

Having said that, I was hoping maybe someone could glance over this:

Quote:
Asus M3N72-D SLI Socket AM2+ SLI Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Processor with Fan
4GB OCZ SLI-Ready Dual Channel PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory
750GB 7200.12 SATA II Hard Drive
Ultra X-Blaster Black ATX Mid-Tower Case with Front Ports
Ultra LSP650 650W ATX Power Supply
22x DVD/CD-R Burner
Geforce 9600 GSO SLi Video card
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit - OEM - DVD - Windows7 Upgrade Coupon

the case will have usb and firewire ports on it as well.



This entertainment quad core AMD kit offers you powerful performance and expandability at a fantastic price. The Asus -D supports Hybrid power, Hybrid SLI, NVIDIA MediaShield RAID, NVIDIA Gigabit LAN, and NVIDIA FirstPacket Technology. The M3N72-D also supports DDR2 memory at 1066MHz up to 8GB, USB 2.0, SATA 3Gb/s, SLI, PCI-Express 2.0, 8-channel audio, SPDIF out/in, and features onboard GeForce 8200 graphics. This kit also comes with an AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0GHz Black Edition Processor, 4GB of OCZ SLI DDR2-800MHz memory, a 750GB SATA II hard drive, Ultra X-Blaster Black ATX Mid-Tower Case and SLI-Ready 650 watt Ultra power supply. This rig will give you excellent graphics for all-around computing and gaming, but if you want killer graphics check our video card selection. You've heard great things about the Phenom II, and now you can experience it yourself. Start on the road to becoming a great gamer amd more
I've done what research I could understand. Anyone see a deal-killer I'm missing?

Thanks

One small point, you are going to need dual drives for PT-LE. Best to have them internal for simplicity sake. Another SATA will run you $ US 100
