I always look at these, but like they said above, the crap PSU and lower end video card holds me back.
Perfect for browsing and light gaming, add a better graphics card and you've got a pretty solid machine!
I have almost this same build. All you have to do to play most current games on High settings is add an HD Radeon 6750. I can play skyrim and Left 4 dead 2 on high settings with this build. Also this board takes the new FX processors so if you want to add one down the line when they fall in price you can do that later.
For any real gaming, you'd need a good graphics card, and probably a better power supply, but this sure is tempting!
