I am Finaly upgrading!

Motoxrdude · 06-19-2006, 06:04 AM

I am finaly upgrading from my dinosaur (sempron 2300+, 9700PRO, 1gb ram). Right now i have exactly $430USD. I can order off newegg.
Ok, as of now all i need is a new mobo, PSU, CPU, and Video card. Right now I am debating on getting a pentium D 805, or a Athlon 64 3500+. And for the video card, i have no clue. I have picked out this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104954.

So basicly, i need a new mobo, CPU and Video card for $336.76.
For the CPU and Mobo I have decided these two setups
CPU-Pentium D 805
Mobo- ASUS P5GPL-X Socket T (LGA 775)
Which leaves me with about $116 for the video card.

Or

CPU-Athlon 64 3500+
Mobo-ECS RX480-A (1.0) Socket 939
Which leaves me with $145 for the Video card.

As for the Video card, I have no clue. I don't plan to SLI or crossfire. I was thinking something along the lines of a 7600GT, but i am not sure.

If you have any suggestions on what to get, that would be great.

I have indeed. Basicly, its not a matter of which one i think is better, its just a matter of what one will give me the best performance over all. If i get the 805, i will have less to spend on the GPU, but if i get a 3500+, i will have more to spend on the GPU.
I know the 805 is faster after some OC, but will i get better performance in games with a good CPU and ok GPU or an Ok CPU and a good GPU?

EDIT: I dont care about performance outside of games, i mean, my sempron 2300+ is plenty fast enough for me outside of games.

Allright then. Then go with the amd and probably around the lines of a 7600gt like you said.

Alright. I was thinking that too. I some how managed to get x850xt into there with my budget. Here is my semi-final build:
CPU-Athlon 64 3500+
Mobo- ECS RX480-A (1.0)
PSU-FSP Group (Fortron Source)
GPU-X850XT

If anyone has any suggestions let me know, thanks!
