Hey all,
Let me start off by saying I just recently entered this community yesterday and you all are great, thanks for the help so far!
I'm going to be building a computer this summer, and have been picking out my main parts today (I'm sure I'll have to decide again this summer with new advancements, but anyway). Right now I'm stuck on a video card. I'm looking at the nVidia 6800 Ultra, but do not know much about AGP and PCI-e, and the card comes in both versions. The only thing I know about PCI-e is that its new and have read it will be the new 'standard' over AGP.
nVidia 6800 Ultra (PCI-e version) - http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-130-222&depa=1
nVidia 6800 Ultra (AGP version) - http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=14-130-196&DEPA=1
Additionally, the other two crucial components I have chosen are:
AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 - http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-492&depa=1
GIGABYTE "GA-K8NU-SLI" - http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=13-128-279&depa=1
I would appreciate any suggestions regarding (mainly) the video cards and any input on the CPU and MOBO. Thanks in advance!
