New to these forums sorry if this isnt the right area to post. I couldn't find any other place that it would fit.
Ok so im in need of a new system, My current one is well...... old, im rocking the single core / agp / DDR / all the good stuff Im looking to build a Gaming PC. I want this one to last me a good long time, and it needs to be able to take a few upgrade's if or when needed. Money isnt too bad so anything under 2k would work. Stuck on a few things, Duel core to quad. Nvidia vs ATI. My friend tells me that AMD works rly well with ATI cards and i wasnt sure if there was something the same for Nvidia and Intel. Im a fan of Nvidia so i want a nvidia card. Ill start with CPU and work down. Im not too new at picking out stuff but i havnt been keeping up so im just alil lost in areas like i said.
CPU : From what iv been reading around i see alot of ppl goin for Intel over AMD. Im fine with intel, my current pc is an AMD but it wasnt very well built. For cores, I was thinking more cores better(?) ill shot for quad but as i read i see ppl say for gaming go for Duel(higher Ghz), if your not one to run 10-20 diff things at once. (Me at most i run my aim and xfire while i game nothing more) But my main concern is, if i get a duel core now. I dont want it to get outdated later cuz game will req more core cpu to play. Soft of how my system is now. Single core, new games are enhanced for multi core so it sucks for me to play them. Also im not one to big on OC stuff, mostly cuz i dont wana mess anything up lol.
My 2nd issue i have is my friend was telling me that If you get a AMD Cpu / mobo and a ATI card that it will work together. Spider, i havnt read or looked much into this at all. so wasnt sure if its worth shotting for,
Motherboard: This ones rly killing me the most atm. I want to get a system and run multi cards, mainly just 2. But im not sure where to turn in lines of chipset. I want an nvidia card, so ill look for SLI. I read that some intel boards support SLI "Awesome" while i look at Nvidia boards i read that they are buggy and not working too well. So im not sure if i should run with a Nvidia chip set board or Intel.
Any feed back or links to forums i can read more on these things would help me so much Thank you.
