Erm... If you want to keep the cost down and insist to use AMD, keep the mobo and buy a phenom II x4 Black Edition and add an ssd. Trust me, just because the Bulldozer Architecture is new doesn't mean it's better than previous versions.

Well, I don't know about the CPU, but it seems pretty good
BTW, how much exactly did this cost?

Also, switch out the case to a Zalman Z9, as it has much better ventilation. I would also recommend getting an aftermarket heatsink/fan.

The thing is though that the Phenom II x4 is better than the new processors, take a look: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I would change the hard drive to a 500GB 7200rpm hard drive, because I highly doubt you'll use 1TB.

Find an ASUS motherboard with AMD 990X in the name, as it is a superior chipset and will yield better performance

Yes I agree with him, change the drive to maybe a WD Green with 32mb cache
