My new rig will consist of... AMD 64 3500 (939) Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series (2x512) EVGA nVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT Video Card, 256MB GDDR3, 256-Bit ASPIRE (Turbo Case) X-Pider Black ATX Full Tower Case with 420W Power Supply My question is about the mobo, I'm going to be mainly using this for everyday tasks so I want reliability and I'm also going to be playing a bunch of fps games. Any questions, comments or concerns are welcome.
Yeah... haha. Also any suggestions about the videocard/ram/case. If anyone knows, is that case psu good for the stuff i have? and is it good for cooling?
im a big FPS player and am gettin nearly the same specs as you except mine is AMD 3200+ and ATI radeon X800 pro what about an asus board?
ok, but which 1? there are so many differant motherboards on the market today. by the way it has to be 939 socket
It would be a good idea to buy a seperate psu if you are buying said equipment, many a system goes down due to a cheap psu i can also vouch for that as i have my sis's comp sat next to me with a duff psu Look into buying one from enermax, antec, etc.. Just and u'll find loads of recomendations for psu's around here . Death
msi k8n neo platinum 2 looks really nice. If I remember correctly it even got bit-tech's seal of approval or whatever, a couple months back. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-130-468&depa=0
I vote for MSI K8N Neo Platinum 2 mobo and a better case with no PSU. Buy a PSU that is recomended through reviews or the forums. Personally, I have chosen the PC Power and Cooling 510 because it matches the high end system I'm building. Their specs should give you an idea of what to look for though. PC Power and Cooling 510
Asus A8v am using it now and its really good, comes with a wireless internet reciever too.. so im wireless Really good mobo i think and a Antec Truepowe 480W+ Upwards should be fine, ive got a 430W myself and its running fine nice and quiet too
Insted of getting 1 gig of cheap ram I decided to spend $125 on this ram How about this mobo? Soon after I get my stuff my sister said she would buy me the other 512 stick of the ram(parents dont want me spending too much of my OWN money that i MADE)
that ram is perfect if your not a overclocker. Nice low latency. Nice Speed Imo i'd go for both of them, not because ive got the motherboard but i think its really good. Also make sure you can get a Revision 2 as it has a few more bits n bobs on it I think so anyway
how about overclocking just a little bit? like 100-200mhz Edit: I'm not looking to double the current speed lol
as a matter of fact for overclocking they seem pretty good!! Take a look here. So yeh definatley that ram
