Help Me Build the Best $1200 Ever

oops put the wrong price on the ram, fixed

I know the 3200+ overclocked is as good as a 3500+. Does this apply to the Manchester X2 cores. If I were do overclock my X2 3800+ Manchester to 2.4 (which I hear is fairly easy) would it be the same as the X2 4600+ Manchester?

 

[Flanker]

Yes, it WOULD be the same as a 4600+ Manchester.

You don't have a Sound Card...

 

[5u1c1d47m0nck3y]

I am alright with on-board sound.

 

[Flanker]

Then I'm guessing you've never heard the sound from a Xtreme-Fidelity Card

 

[5u1c1d47m0nck3y]

Can't say that I have. I am not that much of an audio freak and I would rather just get some good speakers with a sub first. I only have two little dinky ones right now.

 

[5u1c1d47m0nck3y]

Has anyone heard of this case and power supply do think it is good

 

[5u1c1d47m0nck3y]

After reading that article I learned some stuff. I think this PSU will suit my need. So what is a good case at Newegg for the 50-70 doallar range.

 

[sickness]

Never heard of that PSU before, but that doesn't mean anything. I'm just an Antec fanboy.
