AMD FX..... need help

**dragon2309** · 06-17-2005, 01:24 PM

Hi, am in need of an upgrade. I couldnt decide whether to put this into motherboards or CPU's but hey.....

I am planning on getting an AMD FX (any model, but make it a decent one).

Not really my field of expertise so im leaving it up to you to decide, i need cpu/mobo combinations if you will......?

Thanks

budget?

**dragon2309** · 06-17-2005, 01:40 PM

well, lets say around £500 for cpu (i know they're expensive). I havent got that sort of cash lying around right now but a high interest savings account isnt in my name for no reason. So £500 for cpu, say about £150 for mobo (preferably ASUS but NOT Abit or PcChips)

well, i know the FX-55 costs around $800 bran new at newegg.com, but i saw some FX-53's selling for around $400-$550, and some FX-55's selling for $600-$700, so you would probably be looking for the FX-53, try eBay.com, if you dont have an eBay account and since u live in the UK and cant get newegg, i cant tell you where to go.

Oooh its so sexy....... oh sorry im back again. I think i'm in lave with this cpu now, and at just £570 inc VAT. Might take a while to save up but it's worth it, recomendation on a motherboard to do this baby justice.....?

take a look at the dfi lanparty nf4
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=86395
good board, and has lots of oc'ing capacity (which i think your SG-72 has been holding you back from)

**dragon2309** · 06-17-2005, 02:57 PM

That looks pretty good, nice colour scheme to.

I think a better one for your processor would be this one: DFI LanParty UT NF4Ultra-D - nForce4 Ultra. The chipset is better and beats the Nforce 4 (Non-ultra) chipset
