Time to upgrade from my 1.4 T-bird:
Motherboard
A8N-SLI Deluxe
CPU
AMD Athlon 64 3200+, 512KB L2 Cache, Socket 939
Memory
Kingmax 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200
Graphics:
eVGA 6800GT PCI-E
or
BFG 6800GT PCI-E
Case
ASPIRE (Turbo Case)X-Superalien Blue Aluminum Server Case with 500W Power Supply, Model "ATXA6SW/500"
Cooling
ARCTIC-COOLING Freezer 64 CPU Cooler For Socket 754/939/940
CD
Plextor 12X DVD+/-RW Drive
HD
Hitachi 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
I'm going with PCI-E Mobo w/ SLI option so I can upgrade more if I wanted to later. I'm just wondering if I should wait longer for more options or is this fine? And what's the difference between a L2 512k cache and an L2 1MB cache?
Total with everything:
Around 1500, which I think is a great price for the performance I'm going to get. (1/3 of which comes from the gfx card alone).
Thanks for your input.
