Hey guys i was searching around PriceWatch and saw that they had a lot of good deals on CPU/Combo's as I am looking for a AMD64 3000+ and of course a Mobo that supports SATA. Do you guys have any reccomendations as to what places are good ones to buy combo's at, or should I stay away from that and buy the products seperatly.

Also i was looking at going for this sort of combo.. I am on a pretty tight budget so I was wondering if you had an opinion on which Mobo to choose and also if i need the thermal paste.. What would you guys reccomend getting for the heatsink fan aswell? Let me know thanks..

This is where I was .. looking
 
I wouldnt buy it combo, because it seems that most of the time combos are the cheapest chip/mobo they can find. I bought my first system like that and hated it. Bought this all in peices...and love it :D Just my $00.02.
 
Well does anyone know of any combo's (AMD 64) for about $250 or below that would get the job done??
 
Just look on Newegg and buy them serpertly, I'm sure theres a s754 bored and a s754 64 chip on there for less then that.

seems to have some good reviews and you can couple it with your athlon 64 3000. Both at newegg comes up for a total of $224 + shipping or you can find it here as a combo for $218 + shipping.

I always prefer newegg but the other site seems to have some good user reviews also. (86% positive out of 250)
