Hello! I need help deciding...
I have and Hp Compaq and would like to upgrade... currently it's running fine on a 3400+ 2.4 Athlon 64 processor and K8S-LA (Salmon) motherboard which currently supports only AGP.
I wanted to upgrade CPU, Motherboard, and video Card
Here' is waht i have
Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138111 (52$)
Processor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103212 (60$)
and Video Card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814134035 (152$)
Memory - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227139 ($50) ($25MIR)
Or
Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138125 (50$)
Processor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116052 (70$)
same video card and memory
Which way should i go Intel or AMD ? seems that Amd will give more for my money. I've never overclocked but i'm willing to. will i be able to overclock on these motherboard? I have PC-3200 memory will they run on these motherboard? i heard that CPU can bottleneck my video card, will i be fine with those processor and the video card(i'm plannig to run games like Age of Empires3, Starcraft 2 , COD4 and maybe gta4 if they mkae it for pc)? I wont upgrade computer for another 2 to 3 years.
what about ebay? i can get those prices cutted down significantly on claimed new products. Should i go wiht ebay?
I'll thank any help and suggestion(i'm new btw)
