i need to upgrade my system, i still run a p4p800 motherboard with an agp card....
Well, my budget is around $1000, and i need to build a comp primarily for games.
Ive always been biased over intel, so i will be building my comp around intel rather than amd.
I doubt ill be using dual graphics card, so i wouldnt be needing a SLI motherboard..
considering all of this, what will my best options be for cpu/motherboard/graphics/ram?
here is what i was thinking:
cpu: i7core..but is that overkilling it? i doubt ill be overtasking much..or sohuld i just stick with core 2 quad?
motherboard: whats a good motherboard, cost wise, (dont need to be SLI)
ram: depends on wat motherboard i get right?
graphics: radeon 4870HD (is there a better one on the market for games?)
heatsink: gonna use the one that comes with the cpu, or the generic one, not gonna be overclocking
case: will all of this fit in a small/mid toewr? i d0ont like tall cases, was thinking of the antec 300, or will be to small to hold the radeon 4870hd
As you guys can see, i mainly need help with the cpu/motherboard/ram combo. Thanks...also, whats a good thermal paste to buy?
