Why are you going intel? what do you plan to use computer for?

heres a better power supply for the money and you don't need 680 Watts.

This is a very good PSU for the money and its alot less then that TT pos!

 

[unicknn]

no real reason for going intel. Mostly gonna use it for gaming and have never had anything but Intel processors so just kindof went with what i knew. What would be a better choice?

amd

 

[unicknn]

yea but which one? theres liek a million different motherboard/cpu choices out there

 

[PZEROFGH]

for gaming you really need to go with AMD X2 or the 3700+ san diego

 

[FghtinIrshNvrDi]

the AMD Athlon 64 3500+ might be more about the price he wants to spend if he's gonna buy a 3.4ghz P4. It's a better performer for games, and the price is a little lower. Get a corresponding socket 939 motherboard.

OK what about:

AMD Athlon 64 3700+ / 1MB Cache / 1600MHz FSB / ClawHammer Core / Socket 754 / Processor

Asus K8N-E Deluxe nVidia Socket 754 ATX Motherboard / AGP 8X/4X / Audio / Gigabit LAN / USB 2.0 / Firewire / Serial ATA / RAID


Or how about


DFI Lanparty UT NF3 Socket 754 ATX Motherboard and AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Processor

would that set up be better? And will everything else work with this board and cpu?

 

[Ste]

Socket 939 is the way to go now, socket 754 doesn't support dual channal memory configuration.

 

[Static_11]

socket 754 is dead.. go with 939 dude..

me and STE posted at the same time
