Need Help Pick'in out new MoBo and Proc.

[Fox34]

Alright, its kinda budget but what you gonna do. Anyway, I need a new mobo proc and pref heat sink because I dont want to use stock:shadedshu The budget is like 100-250. Kinda low but I'm just lookin for a 2.0 Athlon and any mobo with an nVidia chipset. I dont look for fancy heatsinks, just somethin to beat the stock. Apreciate!

 

[Athlon2K15]

[Fox34]

[Fox34]

[Athlon2K15]

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835185125

pfffffffft....for that money no brainer....this is a real good cooler.....especially for the $$$$

this is my opinion....ok....and its cheaper

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2552457&CatId=0

i have heard nothing good of tiger direct and also i hear that rebates suck with them

 

[Fox34]

Yea ive seen those heatsinks around, like em alot. I like that stuff, looks nice. I was thinkin of orderin a DFI lanparty board cause they just seem so awesome o and WTF is a shadow card?

 

[Athlon2K15]

i think shadow cards are made for sli board when u arent running SLI.....you put it in the other slot that is unused when not using sLI

 

[Fox34]

i do see, SLI would be so sweet

 

[Athlon2K15]

yeah i want to run it but it wont be for awhile............i need another 7600GT and a new board

 

[Fox34]

uhhh that will be so nice!

 

[Athlon2K15]

kool so if you get a sli board are you gonna wait to get two cards or are you gonna buy them at the same time?

 

[Fox34]

I'm prob, gonna get the board save back up then get the cards

 

[Athlon2K15]

i got a 6500 pcix you can have if u need a card till then

 

[Fox34]

wow that would basically be very very helpfull

 

[Athlon2K15]

but then again you should be able to use your current pci card to...

 

[Fox34]

bah your right thanks for the offer though

 

[Athlon2K15]

the only advatage of the 6500 is 1 more vertex shader...not much at all when ur just browsing the web...

 

[Fox34]

I basically just game on mine CS=CZ

 

[Athlon2K15]

then it might help not sure..........pci to pcix

 

[Fox34]

yea that would def help. My cards Def a little "outdated" lol never really bought a new one, this thing runs all my games max frames, well untill i got quake 4.....

 

[Athlon2K15]

yeah dude Quake 4 is a really intense game.....
