Hi, I'm building a PC, but it needs to be quite cheap.
So far I have most of the parts worked out, but I need to know which motherboard to use.
It doesn't need SLI, or DDR3 support, it just needs to Overclock really well.
Price range I have in mind is about $150 - $180.
Parts so far:
Core 2 Duo Pentium @ 2.2 GHz
2 GB DDR2-800 RAM
nVidia 8600 w/ 512 MB RAM (Not sure whether it should be GT, GS or GTS)
650 Watt PSU
250 GB Western Digital SATA HDD
DVD Burner of some kind...
Well, any help with this would be appreciated: My friend is pretty much buying me this PC because I'm letting him blow up/fry my current P4 rig.
So, it needs to be fairly cheap: He promised me he'd buy me a better PC if I let him explode my current one, but I don't want to stress his finances.
