Okay so those are my first two parts. now i got those at good prices. Now i need a good computer but i am not the guy who is going to go and spend money for all the best parts on the market. However i need performance.
Now i just got an xbox 360 with a samsung drive while i plan on modding for backups. It wa simportant that this mobo has nforce 4 chipset which comes with the 360 firmware pack to flash your drives firmware.
Now backon topic so i am not going to be playing alot of game son this PC because i have a 360.
I am looking for a graphics card that is reasonably priced and will give you the most performance for your money (must be PCI-express for mobo). Again i still might enjoy playing games just i am not going to die if i cant have the most cutting edge graphics but more performance for money.
A hard one for me is selecting RAM. could i have some RAM reocmednatiosn that give most bang for your buck. However I am willing to spend more on RAM than a video card. I also am confused what type of RAM i need for my mobo.
Lastly i need a cpu i want a AMD 64 (has to be cause my socket 939 mobo). Now could i have a recomendation for a CPU that again give you bang for your money. Is the dual core worth it or are the single core 64 bit good to?
Keep in my mind i am more multitasker than playing games. i might game occasionally on the PC but not much. Most of my PC use is using bit torrent, converting video formats, burning to disks, patching files, programs like photoshop,etc. Basically i dont play alot of games but use my PC hard on other stuff. But these apps can all be running at once and on my PC i have now it can get really slow.
So that is it and i would like it if someone could help select me parts that give me great perfoamnce without buying all the most expensive parts. Thanks.
