Looks like there is a couple Phenom 2 bundles selling at Tigerdirect, I believe this IS the best one. Lets break down what you get. GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2P AMD 760 AM3+ Motherboard Phenom II X6 1045T 2.70GHz AM3 Processor Cental 2x 4gb 1333mhz memory Toshiba HDKPC03 DT01ACA100 1TB Hard Drive - 1TB, 7200 RPM, SATA, 3.5" HEC HP485DR Orion Power Supply - 485W, Dual 80mm Fans, Dual +12V Rails Diablotek CPA-9611B Mid-Tower Case - ATX, µATX, 2 x USB 2.0, 4 x 5.25" Drive Bays, 7 x 3.5" Drive Bays, Black 2x Kingwin 80mm Long Life Bearing Case Fan Note, CPU also comes with fan You will not need a discrete graphics card for this system, the 1045t does not have integrated graphics but the mobo has radeon 3000 with dvi port. Only thing you will need is a disc drive, and maybe a card reader if you want (there are usb card readers out there though). This is a good deal if you are going to build a PC. Its also better than the front page deal from 1 week ago. The power supply is 485w instead of 450w and this bundle costs $33 more ($180 vs $213) for the 1tb HDD, I think anyone in the right mindset would pay $33 extra for a 1TB HDD. Here is the deal from the 15th. http://slickdeals.net/f/5799432-G...-55-Rebate Same CPU Same mobo similar Memory (both meh brands, would rather have corsair) I would imagine both cental and adata will fall short of the corsair 4gb sticks that usually get $20MIR in similar bundles. I would also rather take my chances with the Orion Power supply (rated 4.3/5) in this deal, than the 450w diablotek power supply that was in the other FP deal. I scored the 945 $110 bundle awhile back, power supply broke within a week.....................any comments on Orion power supplies would help SDers. EDIT: Looks like the orion power supply will be much more reliable.

Caution: As stated in Gigabyte's supported CPU list, rev 4.0 and 5.x of this board are designed to handle up to 95W CPUs only. Phenom II X6 1045T is rated at 125W. My 5.x board and X4 965 died a few hours after OS install.

Its roughly the same deal as the bundle that made front page on the 15th. Except the power supply is 485w instead of 450w and this bundle costs $23 more for the 1tb HDD, I think anyone in the right mindset would pay $23 for a 1TB HDD.
Same CPU
Same mobo
similar Memory (both meh brands, would rather have corsair)
I would also rather take my chances with the Orion Power supply (rated 4.3/5) in this deal, than the 450w diablotek power supply that was in the other FP deal. I scored the 945 $110 bundle awhile back and so did my cousin, both our power supplies broke.............
So hands down, better than the FP deal.
Really wish CompUSA hadn't bought TD.
Good deal imo for integrated graphics. Thumbs up!
This is a really great bundle for a budget system that will perform well.
The gigabyte board has onboard video it works well as a back up GPU but won't play anything more demanding then like guildwars or counterstrike though.
With a HD7850 or something like that you should be good for a gaming box on the cheap though.
