the motherboard is feature rich and has alot to offer, i consider it to be one of the best amd based mobos out there, although i think if u can increase your budget then you should go for a processor with a bit more ooomph, you can probably pick up a amd fx 51 for a cheap price on ebay, or if you really want a new processor then the amd 64+ 3500 or 3700 would be better as they are alot faster and i think they have improved on chip cache.
Overall if you cant afford more then i think your purchase is quite good although i still think the processor is a little weak (depends wat u are using it for  ).

Yeah, good config but to make sure it will be easily upgradeable get a board which supports DDRII and also don't forget PCI-E if you are a gamer. The newer SATA drives come with 300MBps traansfer. What are you going to do about all these???
