I doubt abt Athlon II X2 250 's availability. If it is available then OP should go for it with 780G mobo. And yup, 2 x 2 GB RAM is fine.

some how i am not comfortable buying intel i dont know why . not saying that intel isnt good . but ive assembled around 15 to 20 systems in the past two years and all of them have been amd and are running really good .

Athlon II X 250 is much better than 7750 BE ... u'll not regret choosing it.

why pay more so that intel can engage in.......
that too when there is no clear advantage. for the same price that you buy an intel 2.5Ghz you can get an AMD 3.0Ghz or so, so where is the advantage intel?
