Hello I just need finishing up a good computer for gaming and programming. I am hoping to build a computer which i will be able to upgrade single parts in the future so that it will last a long time.
What I currently am looking at this (All I know i cna use for sure is a case I have):
Motherboard:
ASUS M2A-VM - $62.99 on NewEgg
OR
GIGABYTE GA-MA69G-S3H - $94.99 on NewEgg
OR
GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-DS4 - $169.99 on NewEgg
(This is my first major question is that should I spend the extra money and get a AM2+ motherboard so in the future I will be safe with a faster processor or will it not matter that much?)
CPU:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (Windsor) - $139.99 on NewEgg
OR
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (Brisbane) - $99.99 on NewEgg
(This I was looking on reviews on the Brisbane and how the memory clocking worked out (AMD's multiplexer causeing it to run slower) and am wondering how that will affect gaming and if so should I really take it into account.)
GPU:
AMD Radeon 3850 or 3870
RAM:
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) - $54.99 on NewEgg
PSU:
Rosewill RP550-2 - $51.99 on NewEgg
(I am pretty sure I need this as my current PSU is only 400W)
Finally I am guna get a $30 DVD burner which is a upgrade I have been negelecting in the past.
