I know that the 500$ question has been asked a bunch of times, but I'm just going to ask again, because my situation is a little different.
Now,
My budget is currently 450$ (I already have a case that i modded awhile ago... cost me 100$ total)
What I've come up with so far, is...
Amd Phenom X4 965 @ 3.4 ghz 130$ (from a friend)
Hitachi 1tb hd 55.88$
Mushkin 4gb ddr3 10666, 41.99$
Ultra lsp 750 / 650 ps (not sure if i need 750) Either 59.99 +sh or 75 + sh
Asus dvd drive w/ lightscribe 21.02$
I dont know what i need as my mobo thats a main question. More on this in a second (??$)
I know i HAVENT included a gfx card, that is a seperate budget than this one.
What i want the computer for is gaming, which i obviously cant do with out a gfx card, so im buying that seperate to this, i'll probably get a radeon 6950.
So my biggest question is on the mobo, i dont know what kind i want or need all i know is that i need onboard gfx for the time being. My budget can go up to about 460 or 465. I need a good, stable mobo with onboard gfx for the time being, and crossfire would also be nice.
The total cost so far is 100 for the case, 125$ for the ram , HD, and dvd drive inc tax and s&h (directron) , either 60 or 75 for the ps and then 130 for the cpu, which puts me at somewhere between 315 and 330$. I would like to try and stay under 450$, but i also need high end so i can go up to 500$ IF (absolutely) NECESSARY.
Any help would be greatly apprecieated, wether its upgrades to the build i already have or anything that could cut down the price without reduction in preformance or a mobo suggestion or just comments. Thanks for reading and/ or helping!
