Hello everyone this is my first time posting here and I am trying to see if you guys could help me with a few things. About 3 weeks ago my house burnt down with my brand new Alienware desktop in it so now im going to build my own comp to try and save me money. My first question is about 2 Motherboards, I'm in the process of building a new computer and I was wondering what would be a better Motherboard for what im putting into it. Currently I have a Asus p5k deluxe wireless motherboard and I have been looking at the Asus Republic of gamers motherboard to replace it. If you guys could give me any opinons on those two motherboards and which I should use that would be alot of help. Now for the big part of the post this is what im putting into my Computer (alot of this stuff I got huge discounts on being a very good friend of mine is a manager at Compusa (all compusa going out of bussiness so they have %s being taken off plus the employee discount)
OS- Microsoft Vista ultimate
Mobo- p5k deluxe wireless (or the Asus Republic of gamers mobo)
Hard drive- 150gig Western Digital Raptor x2 (Might let one good to help pay for other parts I need)
Ram- 4 x 1gig of Kingston Ram
Graphic card- Gforce 8800GTS OC 640mb (extreme edition Compusa sales Gimick no difference from normal 8800GTS OC)
Sound card- Sound Blaster X-fi Platinum Fatal1ty
Power supply - BFG 800watt ATX
So far thats all I have, If you guys could give me any opinons on a good Intel Processer to go along with everything I posted that would help me very much. I still havent picked out a Case either I think thats turning out to be the hardest part for me so far. Along with Optical Drives (which I think im going to leave that last cause I might change my mind and want to get a DVD/RW or a Lightscribe drive) So all and all if you guys could post anything that could help me on my adventure of building my own comp that would help me out alot or if you need any more info about anything in this post please feel free to ask. Thank you very much for anyone who takes the time to help me with this post.
