If you have any suggestions on other options please let me know. I can spend a little more in some areas to upgrade. I can pay more for a better CPU, Mobo, or HD. Thanks

Nice system. Where are you buying all your parts?

For a computer thats not gaming it seems pretty good. All I can say is go AM2and think about getting a higher wattage power supply from a more reputable company. Like OCZ. If you do, however choose to go AM2 instead of 939, you will have to choose a different motherboard, CPU and memory. AM2 is a better choice because it is cheaper and has a better upgrade path. Still, hypotheticly if you already have some of these parts then this will be a perfectly fine system.
