    if youre looking for upgrades try going the AMD Phenom II x6 1075 processor. Its 150$ generally and is ranked extremely high for performance per dollar.

    I've got a nice Corsair in my main rig which has pretty blue LEDs on the fan. Other excellent brands are Tagan, OCZ, Thermaltake, Enermax, Hiper, Xion, PC Power & Cooling.
    I actually had a thermaltake 750w Bronze edition that was unable to power my processor, motherboard, one harddrive, and video card alone...would shut off after 10 seconds of running at half fan speed on the processor. I loved the power supply it just had the wrong power rating. Went with an off-brand 900w

    Did not see any video card on the list.
    The GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 does not have onboard video.
    Cheers.
