Mobo/Proc combo?

[tooltgle]

looking on building a new rig. Need a good mobo/processor combo for under 500. AMD defineately, no intel. save me your soapbox on why intel is better. Athlon 64 proc and mobo, what is the best for under 500. thanks

It depends, what type of video card do you have?

what are you talking about, Intel is better. just kidding.

But why dont you just go over to newegg.com and look some stuff up.
They have some pretty good deals on mobo/cpu bundles.

how about telling us $500 in what currency for a start. depends on how nasty you will go for the rest of the parts. id get a neo4 board and 3500+ cpu

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $129.50
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego Integrated into Chip FSB 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor - Retail $325

Total: $454.50

It's under your budget, and you're getting a very fast processor.
