I hope this is in the right forum,

-Case-NZXT Apollo Orange
-AMD X2 5600+ 2.8Ghz
-Seagate Barracuda ES ST3320620NS 320GB
-GIGABYTE GA-M59SLI-S5 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI
-Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit

whenever i get the money which should be soon ill have the rest exept a video card, im hoping for the 640mb 8800GTS but if not ill have the 320mb version. Any suggestions?

Have you considered going with a Core 2 Duo setup?

 

[ThatGuy16]

yeah i have considered, but i have always had good experience with AMD and for the price i think its the way to go for me. dont get me wrong i would love to get somthing like the E6700

 

[Kornowski]

If you like AMD why don't you go with somethign like a 4200 x2?

Wait til the 22nd, there is rumor of the long awaited price drop...shhh...our little secret.

why would i do that? the 5600+ has come down to $199 on newegg which to me seems to be a good deal compared to $260

 

[Kornowski]

The prices will come down after April 22nd... and even if they didn't, I think it's worth spending another £30 ($60).

i dont know...just a bit comfused hehe, maybe im not quite following you? ? lol

 

[Kornowski]

lol

I think it'd be worth the little bit more to get a dual core AMD.

It may be even less once April 22nd comes and the prices come down

ahh, i got you all confused sorry...*typo*, i meant AMD X2 5600+ for $199. Yeah lettme go edit that first post

 

[Kornowski]

lol, Because that would be a lot better than a single core CPU
