I know most of us here love to OC and I just have my trusty mobile on a nf7. I have a buddy that wants to update his rig and have it last for several years.
He is looking at around 7-800 $$ and has a case PSU and I have plenty of fans but what are you thoughts on CPU?
I am thinking of leading him to an Opty 165 with a DFi ultraD board. He will not take the time to OC this system and I will prob help him set it up and do some minor tweaking.
What is a solid setup that doesnt need a pro to look through the forums to tweak. if you where to build with the above cash what would you do...
CPU -
Mobo -
Ram -
VC -
(2) HDD -
His research has him looking at the following - x2 3800 manchester - AN8 - Patriot Ram 1 gb - 6800 GS eVGA pcix - WD 160GB uata HDD (2)
many improvements could be had I am sure.
Please help an old ocer that doesn't dabble much in the last two years here.
