I building a system for my bro, and he wants it to be really good, though not necessarily the absolute best out right now (cause that usually isn't cost effective).
Anyway, I'm trying to figure out a good Mobo/cpu combo. This computer will essentially be built as a gaming rig. I haven't been able to keep up on the new computer stuff coming out like I used to, but I know most of you have! I know that I want AMD, but that's all I'm certain of right now. And I'm trying to decide between socket 939 and AM2. From the little that I've been reading, I'm thinking of going with AM2 since I am starting from scratch. But, if 939 is really much more cost effective, then I will go with it.
I know there are other threads like this, and yes I am reading them, and will continue reading them. I just need to make my own thread so I can ask my own questions and get good personal advice.
I'll go back to searching and reading more threads, in the mean time lemme know!
Thanks,
YB
