Also, the Pentium D dual-cores are just two single-core processor cores on a single substrate... they're horrendously power-hungry and not actually a true dual-core. Based on what you expect of the system, perhaps either something built around AMD's Socket AM2 or a Core 2 Duo E6300 system is right for you. Both are purposely-engineered dual-cores.

I considered the core 2 duo but the price difference would be too much for me right now. With this motherboard I can switch over to core 2 duo in the future so thats why I picked it. As for the video card, I have an older graphics card I can throw in there till I save up for a new one.
