guh, soo, tell me, would it be easier, AMD or Intel for me since I will explain the situation for you guys. My PC is a piece of crap, I don't even have pixel shader 3.0, so I wanted to get a brand spankin' new i7, but I decided not to with the release of direct X 11 cards leter on, so I am just upgrading my pc for the moment so I can play games well on Gamer settings until I save up for a High Performance PC and sell this one, so no overclocking for now is expected.
actually, I may be able to get a quad phenom at the same price as the e7300
ah, the motherboard will run me more money that way
Are these two compatible?
AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz
BIOSTAR TFORCE TA780G M2+
pretty sure they are and I do have mATX case it turns out
AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz Socket AM2+
BIOSTAR TFORCE TA780G M2+
better than what I was looking at before right, and they compatible right?
