Currently i have an Epox 8K7A+ mobo, TBird 1.4 chip, and 256mb Corsair XMS 2400 ram.
I'm looking to upgrade now too... my birthday is comin' up soon
I used to be into overclocking... had a DangerDen watercooling setup with a DD cube, maze 3, and eheim pump...
But now, i'm not too into it. I'm more looking for a reliable setup where i don't really push my computer to its limits much.
But, i want a new chip, motherboard, and ram. I had originally thought about getting a Barton 2800+, Epox 8RGA+, and some Corsair XMS 3500C2 ram. But thinking about it, this setup is def. for pure overclocking. I know i want a FSB of 200, but is the barton core really neccissary for me? Should i save around $50 and buy a 2700+ chip which runs faster stock? This will also need to last for 3 years or so (why im keeping the 3500 ram)... i dislike upgrading due to money concerns (pay for school, car, and everything in the middle)
Any suggestions on other set ups that will last a while for me?
Thanks
