Current rig specs:
Asustek A8N-SLI Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3800 skt939
2 GB RAM
XFX nVidia Geforce 7900GTX 512MB PCIe
Enermax 620W Liberty PSU
I know I pretty much have to upgrade everything since skt939 CPUs are pretty hard to find these days. If only there was someone out there that was selling a Athlon 64x2 4800+. But anyhow, is a quad core necessary? Intel or AMD? Would you go for the i7 eventhough it is pricey? And as for motherboards, what is good value for money and do you get more performance out of an expensive motherboard? What about video cards? So many choices out there. Would you really spend over 1k for a video card? nVidia or ATi?
Thanks.
