hmm

Foxcon mobo
sempron
corsair valuselect
dvd rom

i got to do some more reasearch

this should be in the general section not in the high performance LOL

 

[septoid2]

No. High performance. Thats the whole challenge. Anyone can build a noob pc with a celeron. I'm talking about a nice overclocker. Sempron is a good start.

I'm sorry, but you won't find any "high performance" systems for that price. You can build a decent system, but nothing amazing.

Like I said, it's nothing amazing, but it's pretty decent. It doesn't include monitor / case / ect

my system but without a case or speakers or monitor but a really crapy graphx card.

i forget his name but someone here has their sempron at like 2.8Ghz which is equal to like a amd 64 2.5Ghz :shocked:

A Sempron or Sempron 64? I overclocked my friend's Sempron 64 3000+ (1.8GHz) to 2.8GHz. Actually; 2.8GHz Sempron 64 = 2.7GHz Athlon 64 = 2.6GHz FX-55.

Magnificient overclockers, those Sempron 64s.
