Hi thanks for picking my post. Wanting to upgrade a little more, heres what I would like to do but as would aslo want the pros (you) to tell me. lol Ok so heres the Deal, at the moment I have this set up. GA-EP35-DS3L Motherboard (non SLI) Intel Duo E7220 (Non OC'd still running at 2.53)...

ok i have a e7200 2.53 ghz intel based processor ddr2 8500 2 ghz of ram /2 sticks corsair non 640 watt psu evga superclocked 9600GT 500gb hard drive. i want to upgrade a little to get more juice on certain games. playing i was thinking a new mobo that was SLI compatable ... is there any boards...

EVGA 8800 GT 512mb or EVGA 9600 GT SC 512mb or XFX 9600 GT XXX each one has its pros and cons. the 8800 ive "heard" is faster then the 9600 GT but not by much. Reason why i kinda lean away from it cause ive heard she gets super hot I WOULD go with the 9800 GTX...

also i was thinking about getting Vista or the new SP3 for XP pro and they both 64 Bit.

well they started out different threads and still are just my last post could answer questions in both posts. well now it seems as is. Wasnt trying to SPAM, although my bad. I apologize if it came across that way.

Jason ya, I mean thats kinda the thing. IF worst Comes to worst. I will just send the MOBO in or return it or buy a newer/better one compatable with the setup. Heres and update on how stuff is going BTW. also picked the graphics card i want (9800 GTX by EVGA) going to wait for the price drop...

Also. I know that DuORB heat sync MAYBE overkill. But the question i keep asking my self IS ..."is it really overkill if its going to keep the MOBO colder and which NORMALLY adds life to them. Most likely I WONT Overclock this PC. That being said... I didnt say I wouldnt lol. This Pc is going...

wonderul guys thanks for the help. ya today i went out and bought some other items im throwing into this build So far ive got 5 key items but still am missing some. Heres what I have at the moment STILL IN BOX -GA-P35-D3SL -intel-Core 2 Duo E7200 -Western Dig-500gb 7200RPM Harddrive...

is the Gigabyte P35 DS3L able to use a EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX Video Card, I know my Mobo is DDR2 and the Card is DDR3. But been told it dont matter, Is this a GOOD card and will it be ok with my Mobo? Also would I get a LOT more improvement If i traded my unopened Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53Ghz...

well come to find out I may not be able to return my mobo. Cant find the dang receipt...think GF threw it away... although I did only buy it a week ago from Microcenter in person. Also on the topic of what happened to that mobo. Did they say why or what happened? Has anyone else had a problem...

im just going to stick with the Mobo I got and stay DDr2 for now for a bit until i REALLY have some hardcore money for a HARDCORE gaming system. just want a RELIABLE GOOD system now. So Ive added this to my list. -Case Antec- 900 Series (seems to be around 89.99) -Memory OCZ-platinum series...

also would it really be worth it to exchange the P35 for the Ep35? and spend the extra 40 bucks. i know its not much BUT...

im pretty new to building and dont really know how to OC and am pretty scared to do it.

scratch what i said last post on the power supply, i think im going to get a nice one cause thats where Ive heard a lot of HEat and reliability comes from? does that sound dumb or smart? ANyone to recommend either A) a REALLY COLD case. top of the line maybe, cause i might upgrade into in down...

no i think i see where hes going with it, he just linked the wrong name i think... where you talking about me upgrading from this GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail to this. GA-EP35C-DS3R 775 ATX Motherboard That on directly above i THINK is the upgrade...
