srgess -
thats my problem i dont have a big enough budget to cover the vga and mobo u mentioned, thats y i have to consider the next best (opportunity cost).. by buying a mobo with a moderate pricing that i could cover in my budget, with close enough performance to that of a performance intel chipset(975x)..
and im going for a 7600gt vga, and dont think i can afford to sli, so im most probably will go for a 975x, since 1st its cheap, 2nd its a performance chipset,
but then again, if the 590i or 650i is better or (if not) but close enough and has a small marginal difference in performance compared to that of the 975x, i might as well go for the 650i, since 1st its the cheapest out of them all, 2nd its better than the 590i chipset, and 3rd it supports sli which would be of use in the future, ..
my budget cant cover any vga above the one i mentioned, cant cover a cpu above e6400, and cant cover a mobo with a price tag such as the 680i.. (i rather go for the 975x than the 680i, since the 975x is cheaper, and is at the competitive performance segment with the 975x)
.. help!
BaldEagle - im not planning or going to overclock, and second im not up for boiling the water in the cooling system lol ..(1st if i could afford a water cooling system
) - and please dont suggest me to buy a proper cooling system (water or air), and buy a cheaper c2d instead, oc that to a high speed! ..like i said im not up for overclocking please. (and i can only run on air cooling system, of which i already have an Asus Star Ice)
please feel free to advice and help, on considering the situation that i have mentioned above.. thank you
