I am currently buying a new computer, did some research. Found about everything I needed except for what motherboard to get.
What Im afraid is of a computability issue.
My current build is:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E8400 CPU @ 3.0GHz 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache 64-bit
2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 1GB 16X PCI Express
320GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
MSI P43 Neo3-F P43 Chipset LGA775 Supports Core 2 Duo CPU FSB1333 DDR2/800 SATA2 Mainboard w/GbLAN,USB2.0,&7.1Audio
I went to tomshardware.com to compare hardware.
I just really havent kept up to date on motherboards, I read some articles but I am still confused.
I mostly use Photoshop and play games like Battlefield 2, WoW, Medieval Total War 2...i dont know if thats necessary to list but it might give you some direction on what I'm useing the system for.
Oh and is it worth getting 8800 GT 1g over the 512mb? And is SLI/Crossfire really worth it at this point.
Are Western Digital Raptor 10,000RPM worth it?
i did read about SLI and a benchmark on Crysis with Dual 8800gt's I just dont know if its worth it.
My budget is around 800-1200, any input would be appeciated.
Thanks in advance.
