First off, I am new here and not sure where to post this. Thank you



Hello everyone,

I am currently planning my new computer mod build. I was wondering if you can do an adequate gaming/ all purpose system using a mATX board, and an all-in-wonder card.

The two different boards I am looking at are Asus A8N-VM CSM and DFI RS482 Infinity ATI. IF you know of a better one please let me know.

I want to go with a 939 socket chip, I just don’t know which one to go with, I am debating between single or dual core, and I don’t know much about the differences in like the cores (ie manchester). This is my first ever AMD system.

I know I will be using a sound blaster X-Fi xtrememusic card.

I also am not sure what video card to go with. The system will be for my dorm room, so I want to be able to use it as my TV and all.

Finally, I am also debating going water-cooled or not. This will be my only system for school and home. If i do go water cooling it will again be my first time.

I would appreciate any advice you can give thank you.

I would definitely go dual core. It'll help with the day to day computing and soon games will take advantage of it
 
Thank you, I hope I can get the money for the dual core. What about the Motherboard? and Video card?
 
I personally prefer the Asus boards, but the Dfi boards are nice as well. You cant really go wrong with either.

As for the vid card, if your just doing some gaming a 7800 gt is a nice choice at a good price
