any build is a good build aslong as the componants do what you want them to do

what will this computers primary function be? gaming? multimedia? rendering? .....just internet use?

and then once we know what your going to be using it for, we can tweak your componant choises to better suit its use

as it stands, that would be a fine computer for internet usage & light gaming

or say for a family pc

or a HTPC

I want to use it for gaming and maybe a bit of coding

 

[ionicle]

for coding it will be fine

for gaming, you might need a bit more oomph in your GPU, maybe consider a ATi Radeon 5670 or similar? might be a tad more powerful for your budget?

I have a 5670 myself and its definitely a great card for it's price and power usage.

You might be able to get an AMD x3 core and unlock the 4th core as I've heard many people have done. Might be great for this.

You might also be able to find a decent Intel i5 bundle for a few hundred online. Try and search around mate.
