what u guys think can anyone take a look

TOTAL = 1193

ajrettke · 08-21-06, 02:21 PM

I'd get a 19" widescreen over a 19" 5:4 aspect ratio. Widescreen is just more natural IMO.

Another option too is to buy the gigabyte S3 mobo (intel, 965 chipset) and get an E6300.

The cost of those 2 is nearly the same to the AM2 setup you listed and I believe will have much better performance and OCability.

*edit* oh and I'd get the seagate 7200.10 250 or 320gb drives, they are the fastest 7200rpm drive available.

checkout www.svc.com or www.bestbyte.net for cooling options, they're prices are usualy better than the egg.

Mr. Roboto · 08-21-06, 02:25 PM

Deffinatley go with what ajr suggested, much better performance.

And get this heatsink instead

ch1p · 08-21-06, 06:15 PM

thanks guys and i just wanted to know if everything is compatible and if i buy all this stuff will it work THX alot and i have edited all the stuff that you guys have recomended me and i think it would be better i also need to know if it will fit in this computer

cr4zym0nk3y · 08-21-06, 06:24 PM

Yeah, that computer looks sweet

If you have enough money, i would upgrade that core2duo e6300 to the e6600 cuz it has 4mb l2 cache. Everthing else looks awesome. Nice video card, too; its wut i have.

ajrettke · 08-21-06, 07:06 PM

That board should work, but the 965 is a better chipset with more features as well as better performance, this is the board I wanted to link to:

ch1p · 08-22-06, 10:17 AM

Mr. Roboto · 08-22-06, 10:36 AM
