So, I got good grades, and I can build myself a new comp.
This'll be a gaming PC, and so needs top'o the line stuffs.
at least 3.2 cpu, preferably AMD
New Motherboard, what do you suggest?
RAM: 1Gb of...?
I have a good HD, so dont worry about that.

Also gunna need cd burner, dvd drive, case.. and i think thats about it.


Anyways, I need suggestions on the first 3.

3.2 ghz is not avalible in AMD thougth you can get a 3200+ speed rating that goes 2.something Ghz.

for a Mobo go for the Asus AN8X Deluxe (http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7n8x-d/overview.htm)

For 1 gb of memory you need to get 2 512's of Corsair XL DRR400 memory (in any of the types, Pro, black or platinum)

though how much can you spen, the 64bit line of Athlons goes up to 3400+ and 3800+ but are very expensive, but much much better IMO, and the 939 socket lets you use regular memory in dual channel, unlike privious 64's.(500 for the lesser one)

I gotta tell you about the latest gaming thing! try not to build your own comp because this thing is ultra 1337 :rollseyes:

anyway Alienware has created a new double graphics card PCI-express solution is it is AWESOME!!!

I saw a demo at the E3. I'm getting it as soon as i can. Unfortunately i have a prejudice against alienware, im a hardcore voodoo/falcon northwest fan...
