Id go with this, then later down the line when the Pentium K doesnt cut it for you want it do, then swap it out for an unlocked i5 ^_^ Also, add a HDD down the line as well, only reason I put SSD only is because you can install the OS now and not have to put it on the SSD later if you were to get the HDD first.

I like it

I would go I3 over the G

Personally I am an AMD guy. I really like that you are going with a quarter gig SSD and you know what you want.

If you can upgrade to an i5 or something else in the future (soon) go with the pentium or i3. If not go with the FX 6300.

A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

 

Core 4 Quad Not Extreme, only available on LGA 557 at your local Circuit City
