Help me build a C2D.

[krazieaznboi]

Hello. I have a $570 budget. I only need the processor, motherboard, RAM, and CPU cooler. I only have acces to Anitec Computer Technology - Canada's Online Computer Store - www.anitec.ca so please help me out.

motherboard - asus p5k se - 139.95
memory- gskill 2x1GB NQ's - 129.95
cpu cooler - arctic cooling freezer pro 7- 27.95
cpu - e6320 - 219.95

total - 517

u could o/c the e6320 very far and save some cash aswell. i decided to get u a p5k since they will support the new intel cpu's so its upgradable.

hmm that's a nono for a motherboard i think you should get p35 series from msi or gigabyte which will support future processors that are 45nm architecture.

is there any other motherboards because i will probably make a completely new system when the new intel cpu's become popular.


Anitec.ca - Asus P5N-E SLI - nForce 650i SLI (Core 2 Duo) PCI-E Socket 775 Motherboard
does this board work with the e6320?

yeh if its a c2d board

 

[krazieaznboi]

hmmm. so should i go with baron1's motherboard or mines? also is p35 better than nforce 650i?

The P35 chipsets are better than the 650i, in the overclocking and the upgradeability department. The 650i just has more features and SLI, but the P35 has an overall better performance.

that is a p35 chipset, but try to put an gigabyte p35-ds3r into it instead

Did i miss something or did Baron5 (I mean no offense here) make a mistake? Since when was the E6320 more than 200 hundred dollars?
I saw it on Newegg today for about $165.50
