So I've been out of the game for a bit and back when I was hard into computers it was all about 939 and AM2 and the quad core LGA775 was only a dream..
Anyways, computers been acting up and a new HD didnt fix it so its time for that upgrade I've been wanting.
I currently have.
DFI Lanparty Ultra-D
A64 3800+ x2
2 x 1GB PC3200 Balistx
EVGA 8800GTS 640MB
WD Raptor 150 and a 500GB SATA
I am going to keep everything else, but I just need a new mobo cpu and ram for the upgrade, and possible a new PSU if my Antec True Power 480W won't cut it.
680i, P35 all these new chipsets overwhelm me. The only graphical upgrades I'd be doing later would be adding another 8800GTS or whatever so I need SLI. Other than that nothing real necessary.
So I need a recomendation for a new motherboard and CPU. I was thinking a Q6600 but I don't know what MOBO would work well?
I don't want to spend more than $800, and thats Canadian. I'll be shopping from www.ncix.com but newegg links or product codes will work to.
Cheers.
