I have about $2500 +- $100 budget this year for computer and I am thinking about building a desktop PC for gaming then purchase a laptop for school.
So here is all I need help on...I want the most stable, fast and reliable motherboard and memory combo that will support ATI 4870 X2 yet at the cheapest price. So yeah best bang for the buck. When I say fast I don't mean overclocking because I am really not concerned with it. I haven't built a desktop system in ages so I am really not familiar with the intel chipset lineup. But here is what I got so far...
Update 1.1
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB 512-bit
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
Acer AL2216Wbd Black 22
Please help me select the best motherboard memory that will run the above without any bottleneck or inefficiency at the cheapest price possible. Thank you very much.
