I am upgrading my computer and I am needing some advice/comments on the parts that I am thinking of going with.
CPU: I was thinking 1600 or 1700 right now until the prices come down on the 2600 so I can purchase one of those or higher! I am thinking this would be a cheap holdover ($50-$60) until I can buy a really nice processor. If it would be a little better to buy an 1800 then I will but I don't plan on overclocking it a lot. Will these come unlocked when used with my motherboard?
Here the other peices that are going to go with it:
Motherboard: Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Memmory: OCZ PC3500 EL 2x256? or 1x512?
Would it be better to snag one 512 now and get another one later on or get two 256 sticks and leave them. I play computer games, surf the web, multitasking, Photoshop, Illustrator, and possibly some other image and video editing software.
Thanks again for all of your help! You guys are great!!
