Hello everyone, great forum. Trying for a budget build to play some games and upgrade my old labtop. Please let me know if you see any problems or can save me some $$$. Going with an AMD set up.
-Feel like this is a pretty good budget build. Open to suggestions to shave a few $$$.
-Chose Vista so I wont have to upgrade later on. Premium or Home Basic?
-Should I get another 2GB? for that price I think I should.
-Any cheaper PSU suggestions?
-How bout the MOBO? seemed good price and has everything I need for the most part. And it is Phenom ready.
I would recommend getting the Biostar 560 Chipset AM2's they're really cheap and overclock really well.
I would recommend trimming some fat off of the processor part, maybe get a 4000+ Brisbane instead and overclock it since there is basically no difference.
I would say try your hardest to get a 3870 or a 3850 512MB.
