thanks man ! i really apprecate it :) i may just use that one! can someone show me a decent intel build to? iv been looking at those but the last time i looked into builiding the i7 was just comming out so i dont knwo whats a good intel anymore , as i see there are new cpus :p


ahhh s___ man ! i cant use that :( its gotta be newegg.ca
 
Intel build...u got it :)

Newegg.com - Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor BX80605I5750
<--- Quad-Core Intel @ 2.66ghz, $194

Newegg.com - MSI P55A-G55 LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
<--- mobo DDR3, sata 6gb/s, 2-way crossfire, 16gb ram, $104 after rebate (all the cheap intel mobos sucked so bad...all DDR2, 8GB ram, etc...So basically you would end up spending more for that Intel chip ($194) instead of the cheaper one with a socket type that is like 2 years old and getting one of the cheaper mobos lol)

memory...hard drive...case...fans...GPU...PSU...Same as the ones I posted above. :)

IMHO...It's not worth it to get an Intel machine right now...you can get a way better AMD computer for a lot less.
