*** HELP - Building A New Computer ***

I would look for a better motherboard. I would spend a few $ more for 4 dimm slots and this mother board only has 3 phase power. I would only look at 4 phase and up for power for socket 775 intel.

It would be cheaper to go with a AND socket AM2+ setup than a Intel 775 that will have the same performance.

I would look at this mother board from Gigabyte.

And this CPU AMD 620

This will you a system that will last some time and can be upgraded later if needed.

this is exactly what I wanted to propose. (or the DDR3 version of that motherboard)
the CPU is fast (equivalent of a Q6600), heats less than higher end Intel and AMD CPUs.
Its integrated graphics is the fastest available, it's more than enough for the gaming you might do on linux (running warcraft III through wine, quake 3 powered games, emulators..)
