Hello, I need a little bit of guidance here. My current computer is an Intel 2.66ghz, 1gb of Corsair value select RAM, 120gb HD, and an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card. I am ready for a new computer. I need some guidance on which way to go. My budget is about $650.
What I had in mind was the DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D for the motherboard.
I am going to be overclocking and heard good things about this motherboard.
Now for the processor, I am unsure. Many people recommend Opertons but I don't have the money. I am looking at the AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice though.
For RAM:
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200)
I had that in mind... but unsure of if it will be alright for OC'ing.
eVGA Geforce 6800GS for video card.
This puts me at $630 so far.
Not sure what HD yet.
Am I going in the right direction? Anyone want to help guide me a little?
Or suggest a whole better setup for me? Any help is appreciated... thanks!
