I have a few Ideas...Trying to Keep this under $500..the cheaper the better..

Looking for a Reliable System to grow into...and Eventually OC..not right away..I play WoW, and surf the net...

Current Setup:
Asus A8N32-Deluxe(I believe something is wrong with it, dont ask why..)
AMD 64x2 4200+
2G Ram
GeForce 7600GT - Will Re-Use.

I just need suggestions, or setup ideas...Ill post my Ideas, and let you guys go from there..

Im clueless about what RAM, and whats the best for each idea...if you have a completley different suggestion, feel free...

My AMD Idea...

I would like to run 4G Ram, and Windows Vista 32-Bit.

The Processor I was looking at - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103289

The MOBO for it -http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813141011

My Intel Idea (A bit on the pricey side for what im wanting to spend, but I think its overall better)

Crap psu in the photo.

Is WoW lagging on your pc? I don't mean when you're alone walking around, I mean when there's a 50-men raid. :D

I don't think anything is wrong with the mobo, but some boards are unstable even with stock settings. They have to be fine-tuned both in BIOS & Windows.

Out of the 2, the Intel build will overclock very well. Look for a Xigmatek cooler.
