Hey , I'm building a computer for light use of games and mostly recording music. Im wanting to use a AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto 3.2GHz Socket AM3 80W Dual-Core Desktop Processor and I dont know what motherboard or video card is compatible or worth buying. Im trying to keep each...

I have a friend that wants me to build him a custom computer. Only problem is, you guys know how to save money a whole lot more than I do! He's a pretty strange guy, and if it's cheap, he'll be happy. I still want to give him something that works good though! His budget will be around 550-600...

I have the NZXT tempest. Great case. Stock fans are quiet enough and strong enough to keep my stuff cool. I would definately recommend it!:D

any of you tried windows 7? I really dont feel like doing all of that. And if i choose to. What will happen to my Vista?

windows 7 free rc?

I'll look into the ram. But the case and power supply deal is pretty good.

Ok. My brother has recently stated that he would like his own computer. After many discussions, we decided that building one for what he wanted would be a lot cheaper than just buying one at say bestbuy (just example). Anyways, since u guys know sooo much about this, I figured you could get him...

Right now, I'm currently looking for a new keyboard and mouse. I've been using some old dell stuff for a while and I really need something else! So I'm probably going to be buying the keyboard tonight, but my question is....what is your guys favorite keyboard and mouse? Any favorite brands...

a 260 is you backup card???!!! missunderstood....my bad.

Why don't you just upgrade to maybe a 260 or something. It would keep it more...."up to date"

The overclocking is a negative.....It is pretty much impossible with that motherboard. I am overclocking the 4850 a good bit. But so the Phenom II's would be the way to go? I will be getting a different motherboard first though. Ill just have to upgrade the processor later. what if I did...

I have Vista 64-bit Premium and i can't STAND using XP!!!

Ok, I recently built my first computer a couple of months ago for about $800 and now, that I've had it for a while, Im beginning to realize that i cheaped out on some stuff that I really shouldnt have, mainly my motherboard. So what my question is....what would help my performance more right now...

Not near worth the money

If you're planning on updrading....maybe you should step up to a little higher power supply???
