OK - since you guys helped build me 2 gaming PC's This should be a breeze.
Still using single core Pentium with XP at work and they are finally not doing the job anymore. The work software just finally finished making the software work with Win7 - 32 bit only. The PC's will be networked and each will be running basic email functions, Quickbooks Pro, my business software which is not any more processor intensive than Quickbooks. Microsoft Office, etc. NO gaming ...
So, I am thinking that a Dual core processor should be able to do the trick just fine and I am very price conscious. At this point I am thinking AMD ( due to price only) with a MOBO that will have the video build in. I already have RAM ( corsair dual channel 1600) , Hard drive ( 1TB Black) , CD player. I am stuck trying to figure out which CPU/MOBO to get. Price is a factor = no more that $175 for the CPU/MOBO together if possible - if not than I will spend more if necessary. Then can decide on case for either the ATX or the micro ATX MOBO. And then decide on what PSU to get.
Thanks
