With such a tight budget, I'd say it looks pretty good.

We have a pretty active member base - other should chime in and add their own comments. One last from me: make sure you price compare and pricematch if you buy from NCIX.

Answer the sticky please :)

But anyways. It looks good. I'm not sure if that power supply would be enough for the GTX260 though. Might wanna get something like an OCZ StealthXStream 500W to be on the safe side. I believe they're around $40AR.

No need to answer the sticky...

And your chosen PSU is fine.
