The 999,999,999th Budget Build

[veg1992]

Just becuase it's a "budget build" does not mean the Antec will always work. The case PSU''s are never that good really and you may have power issues as 450w isn't that much either.

The C2D are EXCELLENT overclocking CPU's most get around 60-85% overclock easily.

Do you really expect to play games on an LCD tv that large with a mid range card? The 8600GT can barley handle new games at medium quality on a 19 inch monitor let alone a 32 inch TV.

nuff' said

also, the 8600gt needs 18A on +12

Best bang for your buck Intel c2d mobo/cpu combo?

 

[peterhuang913]

absolutely correct, except for the combo part, just grab parts individually unless the combo is tf approved

 

[nylax4]

Which c2d is the best value? and what mobo is the best value?

 

[PanzerKammander]

The 7900GS will work fine for him, or the 8600Gt.. that monitor's native res is only 1368x768...

 

[nylax4]

The max res is even 1368x768, I usually use 1280x720 though.

Again- Which c2d is the best value? and what mobo is the best value?

 

[veg1992]

e6420/e6320 with a giabyte p35-ds3r (its 130$ on newegg for the mobo) can't remember the e6x20 prices

 

[b1gapl]

The e6420 is the best bang for your buck C2D currently. It's around $186. So the best bang for your buck CPU/motherboard combo, is e6420/Gigabyte P35-DS3R. You can go e6320, if you want to save $20 bucks, but that's nothing.
