All of my favorite parts all rolled into one package. This would be my personal choice for my next computer upgrade.

I have reviewed all of these parts seperately before, so here is a rundown of what I do and don’t like.

The price is great on their own these parts represent some of the best value in terms of performance for their price

The AMD processor is high class. It has much room for overclocking and runs very cool compared to many new processors, even just using the standard fan that comes with it. The Venice core, which is still in use today was a leap forward in terms of getting processors cooler. As the slowest in it’s range this processor has the best value for money, and if you’re inclined is great for overclocking.

The graphics card is based on the great GeForce chipset which provides good graphics performance, good enough for nearly all modern games. You can see a full review of it at http://computer-reviews.net/chaintech-geforce-6600-video-card-with-256mb-ddr-for-pci-express.

The motherboard is a Chaintech motherboard. Recently they have been releasing more products aimed at the value conscious buyer who also wants to get a little bit of a kick from what they buy. It has all the necessary features and can overclock well with the AMD processor. The original review is at http://computer-reviews.net/chaintech-vnf4-vforce4-socket-939-motherboard.

This really is an extremely smart matching of products. Match it up with a Thermaltake Tsunami Case and some good memory and you will have a barebones system others will drool over.
