[Istonian]

Ok, so I am off work and got my paycheck. I am ready to upgrade my rig. I have a case, optical drives, hard drive, and a video card. I have an idea, but I am asking for your peoples opinions. I will accept links only to newegg. Price range is $400. Thanks in advance.

What mobo? Do you prefer AMD or intel?

 

[Istonian]

I am leaning towards AMD, but I am still considering intel.

Well TBH with that sort of money you could get what i just got give or take a few details and another gig of ram with a gpu , dunno how much the 8800 is though

 

[Istonian]

lol, no 8800 for me. Muz that is what I was thinking. A rig kinda like yours. I just wanna see other opinions.

 

[muz]

well maybe an 8600 , for a little over a hundred dollars is a 8600GT , that leaves 300 for cpu mobo and ram , that is moer than enough

He said he already has a video card. All he needs is a CPU, RAM, motherboard, and PSU. I'm working on it...

EDIT - Do you need a monitor? Keyboard, mouse?

 

[Istonian]

Nah, I am gettina monitor off ebay and I already have a keayboard and mouse.

It's actually a really good build. The motherboard could be a little better, but I decided to go for the E6320 and get a slightly cheaper motherboard. It's still a good board, just a "value" board. Same with the RAM.

 

[Istonian]

Hmmmm. I think I might go with Corsair XMS RAM. It has a rebate. Thanks for the help freestyler.
