I know I've been suggested the Intel Core2Duo many times yet I shrugged it off, but I really want to be an AMD fan. I don't think its healthy to go back and forth.
Before we begin, if I stick with this AM2 MOBO, am I able to upgrade my processor to new AMD versions (since they will possibly be better than Core2Duo)?
THIS IS FOR A STOCK COMPUTER, NO OCING OR SLI/CROSSFIRE
Processor
Athlon X2 4200+ AMD - 169.00
MOBO
DFI Infinity Socket AM2 - 88.99
RAM
2 x 1GB sticks - 189.99
Video Card
eVGA GeForce 7950GT - 214.99
Hard Drive
WD Caviar 160GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s - 62.99
PSU
Antec 550W - 109.99
OP Drive 1
DVD/CD RW - 23.99
OP Drive 2
CD RW - 17.49
Case
Apevia Black Steel Tower ATX - 119.99
Monitor
CHIMEI 19" 2ms Widescreen - 214.99
Approximate Total - 1162.41 [Without Tax or Shipping]
I know I'm kinda paying too much for a case, but hey its a tower and it fits my junk. I want a monitor because my current LCD is a piece of no-brand junk.
Let me know anything before I buy all this.
Updates:
1. Changed Video Card from GeForce 7800GTX to 7950GT
