NEW BIULD HELP

[nachota1987]

hi guys..im thinking on building a new pc.. im from uruguay (south america for those who dont know hehe) and the prices arent very cheap but anyway..

i was thinking on a gaming pc that could run smoothly fallout 3 for example and not necesary in very high settings

considering the prices and performances, i was thinking on a ZOTAC GeForce 9800GT 512MB, 3 or 4 gb RAM and im not sure with which CPU and mother choose..

i was thinking in a INTEL CORE2DUO E7200 3MB CACHE ans hoping u guys could help me with the motherboard and anything else u recommend..

i was thinking in an Intel DG35EC motherboard..what do u think?

Depending what's available in your area a P45 from Asus or Gigabyte would be a better choice. The G35 includes onboard graphics that you won't be using and Intel boards aren't usually set up for overclocking. Even a P35 from Asus or Gigabyte would be better

i ve seen a gigabyte p45 but its like 100 expensive

what about a FoxConn 45GMX or an Asus P5KPL??

the ZOTAC N73U-Supreme has a nforce chipset..does this mean it has a video card integrated?

if it has, it doesnt cut for my biuld cause i wanted to put a ge force 9800 gt, am i right?

I'm not sure about that but a a general rule of thumb---onboard graphics/video is not a gamer choice. Onboard graphics can do a lot more than they could say 6-8 years ago but if you are serious about gaming then plan on adding a PCIeX16 card in the future

$5 US more gets you a faster WD 640 GB drive:
