Need to know

[sameev29]

I am going to upgrade my pc with the following gadget's in March 2009 or April 2009:
Processor:Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 45nm 3ghz
Ram:2GB 800Bus
Graphics card:XFX geforce 9800GT 512MB XT Edition or Standard Edition

I am thinking about the motherboard.I thought to buy Intel DG33FB.I also have my eye on XFX 650i Ultra and XFX 680 SLI.My question is,will the graphics card I am going to buy work better on any of these XFX motherboards than it will work on the Intel DG33FB?These XFX motherboard's has nforce chipset.I have heard that motherboard's with nforce chipset has bug and unstable and dies quickly.Is it true.But please tell me which of these three motherboard's will be best performer and will last for a long time for the gadget's I have listed above.

By March or April, prices and availability will have changed sufficiently from today that any recommendation you get now will be essentially worthless.
By then, the old e6850 may not even be readily available except on places like eBay.

LOL, the E6850 is not a 45nm part, it's 65nm. Get an E8500 these days. By April you might even be able to get a cheap Q9550.

I'd also avoid 650i, 680i and 9800GT. All old products even now, let alone in April 2009. Yes, it's true, nForce chipsets are less stable than P45 chipsets for example.

Ask again in March. We can't tell you now what will make most sense then.
