PARTS PREFERENCES: Got some stuff.. Just need an ASUS mobo, DVD burner (SATA?), vid card, and monitor!
I want to have a solid mobo that can overclock a bit (never done it but might look into it a little bit) and be able to drop another video card in a year or 2 if need. I dont mind spending on a good motherboard if it will mean I will have less problems.
I'm looking at prob a 20 or 21" monitor and 4870 graphics card
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe a little bit
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: In the future.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080? I'm looking at prob a 21" monitor?
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm looking to build a new and reliable gaming rig for approx $1000.
My Setup So Far:
Monitor: Solid 20 or 21" that can be adjusted
Graphics: 4870?
Mobo/CPU Combo: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ955FBGIBOX - Retail and an ASUS AM3 (exclusively?) mobo COMBO (since I've bought from them before).
Optical Drive: Is a SATA DVD burner the fastest I hear? Wanted to buy this but they just discontinued it!!
