Been a while since I've been here, ty all (again). Currently running an E8500 @ 4Ghz with a 533 fsb. Love it.
Started my next gaming build. Want to go AMD, unless instructed otherwise. Anyways in my haste I have already purchased my case, ps, and hdd. N82E16817371023, N82E16822148433, N82E16811119161 all NewEgg numbers sorry no links. PS is only 430W active PFC but got it for $15 after MIR and think it will be plenty. Anyways this rig will mostly be used for gaming, surfing the net, and burning dvd's, cd's. All software will be freeware (in my experimentation). My OS will be Linux, Ubuntu, with all the freeware you can imagine (lol), NO MS, or MAC hopefully. My budget on processor, MB, and graphics~ $500 TOPS. I would like to hear from the community about their thoughts?
Thank you,
Ian
