I'm planning to upgrade my hardware a bit soon, and I need some input/suggestions here since it's been a while since my last update so I'm not 100% up-to-date on the latest motherboards, memory, graphics cards etc...
I don't want the latest HW since that's a bit to expensive vs. performance, but I'm looking for a few months old stuff for a more reasonable price...
I'm an "AMD guy" myself so what I've been looking at now are the following configurations:
Motherboard:
MSI K9N SLI Platinum,nForce 570 SLI,ATX, Socket-AM2,2xGbLAN,DDR2,Firew,2xPCI-Ex16
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produc...il.php?UID=729 CPU:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 2.4GHz Socket AM2 1MB
Memory:
2-4Gb of DDR2 PC6400/PC5300 (don't know brand yet)
Graphics Card:
Not sure here, but maybe:
Sapphire Radeon X1950XTX 512MB GDDR4, PCI-Express,ViVo/HDCP,2xDVI http://www.sapphiretech.com/nw/produ...gpid=161&grp=3
Or maybe:
Gainward GeForce 8800GTS 640MB GDDR3, PCI-Express, "BP8800GTS-640M-TV-DD" http://www.gainward.net/products/pro...products_id=84 Sound Card:
Maybe a
Creative SB X-Fi XtremeGamer
Any comments or other suggestions??
