Hi,
I am currently trying to build my own pc during this Newegg boxing day sale and was wondering about some opinions on my choice of products.
AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto 3.1GHz
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ [...] 6819103680
ASUS M4A77TD AM3 AMD
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ [...] 6813131603
HIS H467QS1GH Radeon HD 4670
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ [...] 6814161287
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ [...] 6820145251
Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ [...] 6822136319
or if I should upgrade to a AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz ----for 70 dollars.
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ [...] 6819103674
or go with a combo like these:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Combo [...] mbo.308589
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Combo [...] mbo.308682
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applica [...] 4&csid=_21
Also, what are the MOBOs any of you would recommend for these two proccesors?
I'm trying to make this machine as inexpensive as possible also and also wanted to know if upgrading to quad would make that big of a different now and in the future.
I will most likely be overclocking the system, it doesn't have to necessary
SLI/Crossfire is doubtful but may eventually use it when upgrading later
I have no monitor at the moment but resolution would probably be 1024x768 or the next step up.
The system will also be running on Windows XP 32 Bit
Your help is much appreciated,
Thanks.
EDIT:
Oh and also this system would be used for gaming; Counter-Strike: Source, WoW, L4D2 and I would also like it to be capable of handling upcoming games such as Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Final Fantasy 14 and the new Half-Life Engine (eventually).
Parts not needed: OS, keyboard, mouse, monitor(unless it is cheap), speakers
Aprox. purchase date: This week
I also don't mind sacrificing some perks now for a lower price and upgrading things later, basically I want to get it as cheap as possible.
