Thanks. Where did you pricematch the Phenom X3 to get it at $45?
Also, would the configuration I posted above work if I switch to any DD3 memory? This is pretty affordable:
NCIX.com - Buy Patriot Signature 2GB 1X2GB DDR3-1333 CL9 Memory Module - PSD32G13332 In Canada.
Or would I be better off going with the motherboard you suggested? How does it compare to this one:
NCIX.com - Buy Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H AMD785G mATX AM2+ PCI-E DDR2 Video Sound GBLAN CrossFireX HDMI Motherboard - GA-MA785GM-US2H In Canada. ? They both seem to have excellent reviews.
