Newegg.com - GECUBE HV195PG3-D3(RoHS) Radeon X1950PRO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready Video Card - Retail

get that Video Card..

nice deal on that RAM.. $40 is great!

How much are you WILLING to spend?

Only a Dual Core 4600? I'd spend a little more and get yourself something close to a 5500. It'll cost a little under $200.

 

[veg1992]

theres no such thing as a 5500+

but i realized that the 4600+ is a Windsor meaning its 90nm..

a little recommendation is the 5000+ Black Edition because of its great bang for the buck, plus it has an unlocked multiplier...

i would get a 680i Motherboard chipset instead of the 570

 

[Sora]

the 680i is an Intel board where as the 570 is an AMD

Thanks for all of the replys. You guys are being very helpful.
Im trying to figure out what parts I need by black friday so I can save some more $$. Thanks again guys.

Whats the difference in the black edition and what does an unlocked multiplier do? is that something for OCing?

 

[veg1992]

yes it is.. and its wayy easier than FSB overclocking..
