[Edit: posted what I think my build will be on the second page]
Hi,
In August people here helped me out a lot, but I decided to put off buying a new computer. I want to order the parts in a month or two so I'm back with more questions.
My new computer will be for gaming. My budget is around $800US, I'm willing to spend more (and probably will) but less is better. I've decided on a few things, but other suggestions are welcome:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego
eVGA 6600GT video card
Seagate Barracuda 80GB hard drive
I need some help picking a motherboard. The two I've been looking at are these:
DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D mobo
Soltek SL-K890Pro mobo
Which of these would be better for gaming (LAN and internet)? I saw a review that compared the two and the soltek generally did a tiny bit better but it was really close. If there is a different motherboard you think I should get, please let me know.
I'm still trying to decide on a case as well. Are any of these good?
Antec Super Lanboy
CoolerMaster Centurion 532
Aspire X-Cruiser
Aspire X-Plorer
Aspire X-Navigator
I'll probably buy a gig of cheap RAM from a friend, and I'm keeping the mouse, keyboard, cd drive, dvd drive, etc. that I already have. If my case doesn't come with a PSU, I'll probably get a cheap antec one.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
