MSI K9A2 CF-F AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Black Edition
Step 1 and 2 are ordered and on the way.
I'll be keeping the PS in my specs.
2x 160gb HD's SATA3 16mb buffer RAID (room for 2 more mebbe)
2x 3850 512mb GeCube looks nice with its 2slot cooling. I'll be picking up one soon, and one later.
Other things that I'd like feedback on...
- Ram : ddr2 800 is cheap and plentiful A g.Skill 2x1gb set is around 40$ Not a big overclocker, but its so cheap I might have to abuse these lil guys.
- Case : Looking to spend less than 60$, I like function over flash, and a lot of these cases I've been looking at seem to have waaay too much plastic chunks trying to make it pretty. One with a PS is fine as I can use it for this rig when it gets retired.
- Cooling : HSF for the BE, and upgradeable for a x3 when they hit in march. This guy here looks like my best bet for quiet and cool running. That and he's pretty cheap too.
I'm hoping for a good 5 years minimum out of this rig, as my last one was built in '02 and upgraded last in '05. pci-e should last a good while, am2 is a decent foundation, and the reviews I've seen on the board suit my style just fine. If AMD's claims of backwards compatibility are true, I feel I could be a happy camper for a good long while
Thanks for the comments/criticism/hate
