Hey guys, this is my first post ever a friend recommended this site so here I am.

I've been gone from the competitive gaming scene for almost 2 years, because my old computer I bought fried.

Will you be able to wait until the end of July to order?

 

[microwaved oreos]

I could, but I really don't want to. :x

Why? Is it because of the Intel Conroe or w/e?

 

[Adionik]

Yeah. Wait...on the mobo/cpu/ram if you can.

yessir, and if u have a somewhat decent gaming rig id just keep it for a month or 2 and get conroe, itl own amd's dual core (*sigh*)

It's probably going to be expensive, and I'm more for amd then intel.

You should always be informed.

I used to be an AMD !!!!!!, but now I just go for (and recommend) whatever is the best value.

YOu could easily trim $700 off of that system and not know much of a difference. Games are about gameplay. You won't notice the higher resolution after a little while. No need to donate all that money to hardware companies.

If you're building new now, why not get AM2? s939 is a deadend at this point. At least with AM2, you can take your RAM with you to your next build and it might even take the K8L CPU's later. More flexibility in the long run I'd think.
