Looking to build a cheap rig coming up in the next few weeks.
I have previously ran an AMD x2 4800 paired with an 8800GTS 320mb, 2 gb g skill ram, and ASRock mobo, and it was a perfect setup for me. Just recently sold everything, and have an itch to build another rig.
What I plan on buying is an Phenom 9600, 4 gb G Skill ram DDR2 800 ( Ram and CPU are a combo deal ) Asrock A780g mobo, and either a 4850 or 9800gtx. Trying not spend more than $350 and everything comes to just $360 shipped.
Mainly going to be for gaming, website development/photoshop and some video editing.
So just kinda wondering if itd be a worth while upgrade to purchase a slower quad or purchase a faster dual core?
Thanks
