I'm making a really low budget pc and I need to know if these parts will work out.
I have a seriously outdated motherboard with a S754 A64 3200+ and an AGP 6600GT, I was planning on buying the new ATI 3850 AGP but after doing some research it turns out that my processor will bottleneck the GPU and I won't be able to use it at it's fullest potential. The card I was planning on getting is $224 and also I was gonna buy another gig of PC3200 ram for $50 which would come around $280 with shipping but then I decided that maybe I should just spend a little extra and make a newer rig that can use the card's full potential so I went around www.newegg.com and this is what I came up with:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157125 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820313019 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103775 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161215 I'm not that computer savvy so if anyone can please tell me if my choices will work out I would greatly appreciate it!

lernax, in-line images are sort of frowned upon here. Please change the image to a link. Thank you.
What do you use your computer for mostly? What kind of budget are you working with? Cricket

Yup, I plan on using it for gaming. Thank you very much for the advice! I might as well get a slightly better processor also. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103213 ![]() Quote:

Also, the motherboard I plan on getting has the following cpu specs: FSB 1000MHz Hyper Transport (2000 MT/s) and the 4400+ has a hyper transport of 2000MHz, is there an issue here? Would this board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Abit%2bNF-M2SV be better than this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131249 ? Last edited by lernax; 03-07-2008 at 05:12 PM. |

Abit are excellent motherboards, I think you would be happy with either one. I use Asus for the most part in my builds but I have also used a few Abits and I was delighted with them. The Abit however is not better than the Asus.
