ok
rogeball wtf?
amd blows
intel out of the water?
what year are you living in
take a look at some benchmarks
http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu_2007.h...=1072&chart=438
That chart doesnt even show the penryns...
i registered just for that
Vornesoul, there is no point in going with an
amd cpu right now. They are lagging far behind
intel and it seems like this will continue at least for another generation. That link comparing cpus doesnt show intels new processors which are faster, cooler and the same price as the old generation. Consider a e8400 or e8200 if you can find them. Theres no need for quad core unless you need it for some special purpose.
In my opinion that case is overkill. Its just too much to spend on a case. You can get great cases for much cheaper. consider the
antec p182, the coolermaster ca5 (something like that). Go on newegg and look at popular cases, it should give you a good idea of whats a good value.
Motherboard is ok but you could do better for less. Unless you have your heart set on going with sli in the future, consider a p35 based motherboard (gigabyte ds3l? around 100, great deal for a quality board) . The 650/680 dont support intels new processors anyway.
That dvd drive doesnt burn dvds by the way... just reads them. You can get a write for just a little more. The cost is 24.99, you put 90 for some reason. Good choice on ram,
You probobly wont need a 700w psu, get a quality one around 500w for less and you still will have watts to spare.
The video card is old technology. Its based on the g90 chip. Consider the 8800gt or the 8800gts (or 3850/3860 if your into ati) all good choices. The 8800gt and 8800gts 512mb are based on the new g92 chip.
