1) I am not really caring for getting SLI capabilities, but if I can get the mobo and PSU for almost the same price as good non SLI ones I might as well since my video card is SLI capabale.
Here my questions
-- PSU: Is this a good power supply? And is it good/reliable for SLI Purposes
535W - Enermax EG565P-FMA REV.2.0 ATX 2.0 w/ SLI Support - $ 80
or would one of these (NON-SLI CAPABALE ONES) be better[For me needs]:
500W - Ultra X Connect - ULT31556 ATX 12V w/ 2-80mm fans - $69
480W - Thermaltake - W0022 ATX 12v - $70
-- MOBO: Is this a good SLI MOBO?
MSI - K8N NEO4 SLI (939) - $126
or would one of these (NON SLI CAP. ONES) be better[For my needs]:
ASUS - A8N-En Force 4 (939) - $114
Gigabyte - GA-K8N ULTRA 9 NForce 4 (939) - $119
(or would it be worth it to spend 139 for the ASUS SLI A8N? Again I am not worried about SLI)
2) Memory
Which memeory would you recommend? I would get the Corsair Value Select but Monarch does not offer them as a couple (2x512)
Heres some choices I have
I dont need the best, just one thats good and reliable - works for what I need)
* 1 GB DDR (2 pcs 512) PC-3200 (400) OCZ CL2 Platinum (OCZ4001024ELDCPE-K)
* 1 GB DDR (2 pcs 512) PC-3200 (400) OCZ Copper (OCZ4001024ELDC-K)
* 1 GB DDR (2 pcs 512) PC-3200 (400) OCZ Dual Channel GoldVX (OCZ4001024ELDCGEVX-K
* 1 GB DDR (2 pcs 512) PC-3200 (400) OCZ Value (OCZ4001024V25DC-K)
* 1 GB (2 pcs 512) DDR (400) PC-3200 Corsair (TWINX1024-3200PT)
* 1 GB (2 pcs 512) DDR (400) PC-3200 Corsair XMS (TwinX1024-3200C2PT)
* THIS ONE DOES NOT WORK WITH GIGABYTE MOBOS - SO MAYBE THATS A MINUS ALREADY 1 GB (2 pcs 512) DDR (400) PC-3200 Corsair w/LED Display (TWINX1024-3200C2PRO)
3) PROCESSOR
Is it worth it to spend 60 dollars more for the 3700+ or should I save the money and get the 3500+... is there a noticeable difference between the 2?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
