Hey guys i know you get a ton of these but i just wanted to be sure before i buy. ok so im looking for a comp around 7-800 and this will mainly be for school, games, and what not. ive posted before and came up with this final build. All im missing is a mobo thats good but cheap enough to fit this. Also Im thinking the Mobo should be upgrade friendly.

Ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145590

GPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130062

Optic http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151145

PSU

So i think thats it. also i have windows xp as a os right now but i would love to have the option to upgrade it to vista later. Also newegg is charging me for shipping does that normally happen? i thought shipping was free.

Thanks for any future input

So how much can you spend on a mobo?

You can look into the Gigabyte DS3's, they don't support SLI but would that be a problem?

hobbes2834 · 07-31-2007, 01:53 AM

maybe a 100-130 at the most? and hmmm i dont think it would matter too much either way, although i would like the option

I'd rather recommend him the P35 than the 965p since it would be more future proof

You have pretty good taste for a first time builder....

The 7600GT is a good budget DX9 card, the E6750 is the best bang for the buck CPU, IMO. Ultra PSU's are pretty decent and I would go with the option of SLI. Is this really your first build?

get a nforce 650i or 680 se !!!!!!! sli ready and pretty upgradable

note: r u sure u dont want to add a extra 40 bucks into ur processor and get a quad they should be going to 270 soon

I don't perfer getting the Seagate Drive. My friend and I have bought some in the past and they have failed in like 6 months. I changed to Western Digital, and still using a 2 year old Hard Drive, you can see it in my sig. Im not saying don't get it, Im saying I don't perfer it because of recent problems in the past.
