    Don't components won't work together.

    Anyway,I would wait until October. Bulldozer is being released in September.

    This would be my first AMD build so not too sure on parts. I take it the memory isn't supported by the motherboard?

    Yes the memory will work fine... I'm using the low profile blue version with my AMD build (check my specs below my username). You can't use that motherboard with a Phenom II though as it's already got an integrated CPU. You need an AM3 or AM3+ motherboard (the AM3+ versions are also Bulldozer ready).

    The motherboard is an integrated one with a fusion E350 processor soldered onto it. You need a socket AM3 / AM3+ motherboard for a Phenom II X6.

    if you're on a tight budget: http://www.ebuyer.com/269070-asus-m5...rd-m5a78l-m-lx

    If you can afford a bit more: http://www.ebuyer.com/272015-gigabyt...ga-880gma-usb3

    Hmmm, not brilliant - but then how many people use more than 4 sata ports anyway? So probably not a deal breaker...

    Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue as psu, dont but 1100T, consider 1090t or wait for dozer, or x2 and unlock to x4, 565 phenom ii. ram fine, mobo - depends what you want on it, for me usb3 and sata3 is essential. ssd id get corsair, or if you only need read m4 crucial is the best. not too sure about 460, id rather get 560ti or 6850/6950, depending on the budget
