get the MSI K8N NEO4-F

upgrade the graphics card to a 7800GT for only 300 dollars

i would change the hdd to a seagate or WD

i would get the OCZ el platinum revision 2 ram

are you going to be OCing?

 

[elitest138]

Nope wont be OCing at all, just want something solid and stable
i'm not a genius with comps or anything, i heard msi can be a pain to install with compatibility problems
i just picked HD cause it was cheap, is it even worth paying 20$ more?

 

[elitest138]

added prices in main post, price is the main issue for me
wont be OCing at all, mostly just want stability

the 6800 256MB is a waste of money defintely upgrade to a 6800GS for 200 dollars.
