A7V8X-X component recommendations?



Posted this yesterday to alt.comp.periphs.mainboards.asus, but looks
like this is the main group. Why are there two groups?

Anyway...

I am building a machine for my son to take to college. He only needs a
basic system. I have built a few boxes with ECS k7s5a boards, but
thought I try an Asus this time. I'm looking at the A7V8X-X / Sempron
2200; here are some questions... First, is this a good choice for a
basic system? Is there another Asus in this price range I should
consider?

TIA. Sorry for double post...I'll only post here from now on.
