TheRealMafoo said: Gah. Ok, what's the best CPU for under $300? What Mobo would you put with it? I am going to buy a CPU/Mobo/PSU/Memory/HD. ( I will keep my 7800 GTX until the new crop of cards comes out) I don't want to spend a ton of money. I guess I will go with Vista (I just threw up a little in my mouth). I have an MSDN license, so all MS software is free to me, I just hate Vista. Oh, and will I notice 4 gig of ram over 2 gig at this point? |
Is that $300 for the whole lot or $300 for the CPU?
Some things to consider.
No SLI for Nehalem (Core3) CPUs - Intel/Nvidia scuffle. Furthermore its a dead end upgrade patch with LGA775.
AMD Southbridge 700-750 has built in overclocking for the black edition phenoms.
Tease.
