Well, awhile ago I was looking into a new computer, but lack of money and other things to put my mind on other tings. Here is what I then considered of buying:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400
Motherboard: Abit - Socket 939 - ATX Nforce4 (AN8-FATAL1TY-SLI)
Memory: Some where that got lost
Graphic: XFX GeForce 7800GT 256MB
HDD (general storage): Western Digital Caviar RE2 400GB
HDD (OS): Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB
Dvd: BenQ DW1640 dual format DVD
Sound: Creative SB X-Fi XtremeMusic
Power: OCZ PowerStream 520w
Case: Antec Case Perfomance One P180 Special edition
Cooling: Waterchill CPU/VGA/Chipset Kit KT12A Dual Xtreme 120mm
Now I actually have the money to buy a new computer and because I'm not updated with today’s hardware I want to know what to change in my previous list (I guess I can probably get better hardware now) at the price range of about 2900$.
What do I want to use my computer for? Mostly playing games and watching films. I basically use my computer for everything photoshopping, 3d, writing: P so I’m really in to multitasking.
Btw, I’m not planning of Sli so I guess that’s not so smart to pay extra bucks for, so what is the best 939 motherboard without Sli, or isn’t socket 939 the best choice?
Ah well, I really would love some help
