Meh, the processor isn't really that much better. The multipliers for the Black edition are as far as I know much more oc-able then the athlon 255s. Not to mention the 255s horrible cache and lack of depenability. -shudders-
Either way that is a much better set up. Not bad. Anyone else feel like people buying 600 dollar budget gaming pcs are idiots? -

Ah, well, if you know what you're doing then the processor point is a bit null.
It kinda depends on what you're doing with it however. For probably an extra 150 it will get you through most things, with that 150 going to 2 more gigs of ram and a much more powerful graphics card.
Also, the OS. >.> -

OS? Lul. The. Pirate. Bay.
With a +150 budget I would get a phenom triple and a better GFX card. No reason for more ram in reality. 2 gb would work fine for most modern games. Unless your on Crysis. Then get 4 gigs. Minimum. Lul -

If you're running xp, yeah, 2 gigs is fine. If you're running 7 I would definitely want the 4 gigs.
I also get my OS from my college. (At least now I do, lol.

Any free OS is awesome.
I'm just waiting for them to create a hardware line that requires a OS's support.
2 Months later: Microsoft announces plans for a new line of OS's intended for gamers usage and a new line of intel and nvidia chipsets! -

3 Months later: Nvidia and intel prices skyrocket, ATI and AMD futures look grim!
That would totally suck. >.> -
If you're interested, I found an ASUS mobo, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 3.5ghz Quad 970 Phenom, and 1TB HDD bundle for sale.I was bored so I threw something together myself. Faster ram, more upgradeable motherboard, larger hard drive, more powerful video card, and a more powerful processor. The price doesn't include the main in rebate, but bleh, rebates, who needs 'em.
The 4650's a terrible GPU, just sayin'.
