Going amd (after i sell my stuff)

[freaksavior]

So after realizing i need money, and i don't nearly need anything that powerful, im getting a lower end amd system to do light gaming.

AMD PII 910
4gb DDR3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148262 probably this cheap crucial)
GTX260 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143189 - probably that card)
ASUS M4A78-E - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131368

Get the board the cdawall used, and get yourself a x3 720.

Which board? The M4A78T-e?

 

[johnnyfiive]

freaksavior coming to the awesome side. I suggest a 4870 over a gtx 260, they are much cheaper right now.

 

[freaksavior]

Take the video card of the equation,

just keep the board in mind.

the 4870 is only as good as a 8800GTS 512 with an OC and those are much cheaper

the 4870 is only as good as a 8800GTS 512 with an OC and those are much cheaper

Its way better than a 8800gts G92, I had an XFX 8800GTS G92 alpha dog edition and my 4830 performs a bit better than it did.

whut?

 

[boomstik360]

whut?

Exactly what I'm thinking lol..

 

[freaksavior]

but gpu is irrelevant because im 95% sure im getting a gtx260

Oh okay then. So what board are you planning on buying from cdawall?

 

[johnnyfiive]

Ah ok, well then we should get off the GPU topic. I suggest either a M4A79T, M4A78T-E or even a CrossHair III if you want to spend $200. I'm sure cdawall would agree. Those three boards are awesome.

 

[freaksavior]

well my stuff needs to sell first before i do anything but was thinking his M4A

 

[boomstik360]

Good choice

Are you just selling the i7 stuff or are you going to sell stuff that is in your system specs?

Oh man if your going to get a GTX 260 get the core 216 not the older 192

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150361

 

[freaksavior]

just my i7 stuff. the other stuff is in dads rig, my mbp and htpc. so just i7, check my fs thread in my sig

im thinking this amd will do what i need for a lot less $$$

the GTX260 is a 55nm 216 version. its a bfg,

 

[boomstik360]

Yeah it will definitely do what you need for less. I did the same exact thing, went from an i7 920 to phenom 945 and lovin it
No the one you linked is a 65nm 192 bfg

I linked to the 192, i know, but what im getting is the 55nm version.

Ohhh okay then thats good
Good luck with the build man it should be sweet!

 

[freaksavior]

[boomstik360]

Haha nice.
