maybe i dont know as much as i think i do....
ive been saving up money to be able to completely overhaul my system. my current comp isnt anything special. it gets the job doen and can play recent games at decent settings and what not but im just to the point to where im just saving money to buy a whole new system. i was think of getting this motherboard:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1179727&CatId=1569
to start off with. now at first i was confused on what kind of cpu i should buy. wondering if i should get a dual core or just a really good single core. the thing is i dont really know how to tell which is better.I was think in of somethin along the lines of a AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800. this again is just off the top of my head looking at the price and goin along with the compatibility of my motherboard i have in mind. Then i read a post in this forum about some one confused on matching up the memory with cpu, he had put a whole list of equatioins out and i realized i think itd be wise to keep the type and amount of memory related to the processor which leaves me not knowing what kind of memory i should get, or what kind of cpu i should get to match up with better memory. im completely criss crossed and am not sure what to get now. i want my comp to specialize in gaming and so far everything ive decided to buy id like to keep it along the $200 line or less. of course that doesnt always happen. if anybody can help straighten everything out and give me some suggestions as to what is the more " efficient" combinations of parts to buy itd be a whole lotta help. any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks alot in adavance!
