Howdy,
I've been on AMD rigs since the thunderbird so I'm way behind on intel. I've decided to jump ship since AMD is sinking.
My rig right now is:
a64 venice 3000+, 1gb ddr400, 6600GT AGP. It's getting very outdated.
So far, I selected these parts below, trying to keep costs down.
I want the most bang for my buck, especially because I want a good power supply -
I plan to overclock this as much as possible. I figure I'll spend a maximum $700.
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 PC6400
$84.99
ASUS P5B-E LGA 775
Item #: N82E16813131070 $144.99
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300
Item #: N82E16819115013 $114.50
Subtotal: $344.48
EVGA 512-P2-N548-TX GeForce 7600GS 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail
109.99
I've read a bit about the new Nvidia cards (>6 series) and I can't decide what video card to buy.
So, the point is, is the e4300 the best processor for the price right now? Also, what video and what PSU should I choose? TLDR's welcome. Thanks guys.
