Alright everyone while browsing through the forums i've noticed this is like the millionth 1st time builder n00b asking for help thread, but i'd really appreciate to get some of your guy's help as ive noticed a lot of you are really experienced and knowlegable.
Ok so.. Budget is around $1650
(mobo) DFI Ultra NF4 or MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM about same price.. $135
(ram) OCZ el plat. 1gb $174
http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146890
(case - psu) Still deciding but both around range of $150 max
(cd burner-dvd etc) $150
now it gets real undecisive..
ok for Video Card, i cannot decide wether to go for ati or nvidia to start off with. Also cant decide AGP- or PCI! Ive also read that xl800 series arent really worth it? so that makes my original thoughts be4 tougher.
Also for cpu, as if i didnt have trouble before, now the x2's are out and it seems pricey but great, and so i cant decide anything. Before i was looking at the fx-53 since sockets matched mb but some opinions and insight on that as well please.
Im planning on some serious gaming and maybe a little bit of future oc too.
At least ive gotten some of the building stuff out of the way since i was able to get some old comps from a friend and got some great practice and experience from working on them. Thank you all in advance, and im sorry for excessive questions lol ;X
