Possible Comp Rig

[tom-knox]

Definitely go with Vista 64 bit. There's really nothing wrong with it as 99% of users here will tell you. It's mostly got a bad name from people who don't know WTF they're talking about.

Intel is alot better if you have over $1000-1500 for a corei7 build. if your budget is more $500-800 go with AMD.

My kuma 7750 performs very well and is prime95 8 hours stable @ 3.2ghz 62C peek temp, But it wont go up any more without some signifcant voltage and cooling changes.. Convertxtodvd encoding fps on medium: 125avg (Avg fps is based on 5 movies that i've converted to dvd) So basically yeah the kuma is a steal for $65. IMO

This is a nice board: Biostar 790gx

Also What games will you be playing?

I disagree with vista 64-bit unless you are going to get more than 4GB ram.

Why? He allready has 4GB of ram, and 32bit wont recognize it all...

Check the build I already posted. A 780G will be fine for you.

AMD owns the budget market right now.
