New MoBo but.... what CPU buy????

[M12]

Hi all!!!!

This is my first post in this forum, I'm glad to be here, I guess I can learn a lot here :!: :!: :!: .

Well...

I got a MoBo A8N32-SLI Deluxe with socket 939, but I'm not sure what CPU buy. :?

I'm an Xtreme gammer and I would like you to help me to decide for the best CPU.

Very very thanks a lot.


Fondest regards.....

Looks like you need an Athlon 64 X2 4800+ in a socket 939 if you can find it. Otherwise get a X2 4600+ in a socket 939. Get it soon, the better cpus are going fast.

The socket 939 will limit your options since they have been discontinued and supplies of the 4800 are drying up fast.

Not sure why you would get a motherboard before you've selected a CPU, but I guess it's already done. Kind of like buying a transmission before selecting an engine for a car.

the 4800x2 is a good cpu for the board you have. that was in my old setup, a year ago i paid an arm and a leg for it and now the price is a 1/3 of what it was when it first came out. i think its the best cpu for 939

The E6800 if you can afford it or go with the E6600, very affordable. These are the Intel Core 2 Dual. Very energy efficient and kicks the crap out of the 939 AMD brand. My cpu temp is 39C at idle and 44C with BF2 running. Make sure you get the P5B Deluxe from Asus. Get the 2gig of Ram with 800mhz and 2 hard drive and set it up as Raid0. Get the Nvida 7600 video card or you can get two and have dual video. This setup will rock. Very good for extreme gaming. I use the Tsunami Dream case. The best case I have ever use.

But, since you have the 939 board, you will have to settle for 2nd best.

m12 has to go the 939 way so i don't think he's thinking about intel. unless he returns his board and buys ddr2 ram
