Hey guys,
This is my first post and I need some advice. Im building a gaming rig primarily for half life 2.
so far im looking at an amd fx 55, but what motherboard should I be looking at for best performance/features with this CPU? Also, is it worth it to wait for PCI-e or stick with AGP? I read in PC Gamer that PCI-e will not have any affect on performance over AGP in half life 2 or any other games so im a little confused? Also, what kind of ram would you reccomend as far as speed goes? 3200?
I've got about 3K to spend so give me some good suggestions! I want this one to last a while
Thanks,
Steve
