Mother board i don tknow any suggestion will be appriciated one that will support my cpu

DDR DIMM - 512 MB RAM, 184 PIN, 400 MHz / PC 3200, SYNCHRONOUS

COOLERMASTER AERO 7+ HEATSINK & FAN FOR PC
does this fan support the cpu?

is that good choice ?

DUDE.. i bet you.. i can use less hardware than what you looking for. and get 10times the speed.
u want a good advice??

AMD never run at full performance unless 64-bit..

i.e 3400Mhz (overclocked) = 3000mhz(what it actually runs at)..

if u want speed, use the Intel Prescot 2.8e Ghz
if u want durability, then u can get the 3400Mhz cpu (but why pay so much for slower performance) $50-60 difference between amd and pentium.

a good agp card would be the Radeon 9800XT pro 128MB, or the Radeon x800 256MB
woth 512MB kingston pc3200 ddrII 400 RAM
and atleast 80+ gig hard disk..

im lokking for good performance i play games like ut2003 and 2004 that needs good system to run

im willing to spend up to 1000$
i want to get a pc that will keep up with the games another 4 5 years im not going to get another pc for long time after i get this one so i want top performance im going with 2 512mb pc3200 or 3500 im a hardcore game player so i need speed lol i was thinking intel but i read amd outperforms intel cpus in games tru?

what to get intel or amd which is best for games and mother board that is all i need for now like blitzu said il go with readon9800pro cpu and mother board are my probs now since i know so lil obout these things tx

I would get this one, it is best i have seen, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=866722&Sku=C460-1101&CatId=1178

Get the latest nvidia(6800) or ati(xt800) card

Thermalright sp97(if it supports your cpu)

nf7-s v2.0
jou jye 550w psu
Thermalright SP 97
xp2400+@200x11
fx5600@360&600
Thermaltake Lanfire
WDCaviar 60gb
Seagate Barracuda 80gb

You'll never be able to build a gaming machine that'll hold you for 5 yrs. You'd be better off building more on a budget now, then building again in a couple of years. There are many changes on the horizon (there always is)...DDR2, PCI Express, advancements in graphics, etc. Building a high end system is almost always a bad investment...what you spend $1000 on today will cost 1/2 that much in less than a year.

dont buy a intel if your in to games intel are overpriced for what they are and perform like snails in games the AMD will keep you running in a game.intels are better at office tasks , and dont get the prescot either cos its got heat issues which could mean a fried egg.

hmmmm....doughnuts

jam u got point there
il go what skipcox 2.8ghz
josh tx for the mother board il deffinalty go with that one couse is build for gamers :)
and i talked with some guy obout memory he said probbly best thing is to go with pc3500 or 3700 and readon9800 pro well thx guys for
good thing i asked this guestion otherwise i would go the one i selected

i all ready bought the case and power output
its ACRYLIC 550W ATX PC POWER SUPPLY FEATURING UV BLUE L.E.D.s FANS well i got it all time to shop lol tx alot guys for ur help

skipcox didn't say buy 2.8ghz lol the other moron (blitzu) said that ! get any Nforce2 board and 2500+ Mobile cpu & XFX 5700 Ultra or LE card ! to be honest with you i have tryed 9800 Pro & GF5950 out of all i like xfx fx5700U . i oc my vid card to

core =500mhz
mem clock = 600mhz

i took out the old GPU fan slam some AS5 & Vantec Pro Fan with couple heatsinks and let me tell you it kick 9800 pro & GF5950 a$$ ! i played CS 1.6 / CZ / Halo / Call of duty / DOD / viet & couple other without any problem @ all im sure that i can oc this card lil bit more ! so if you wana use your system for games & 3D stuff this is it ! same your money ! & yes use PC3500 !

so total oround 1150 yust obout right price and i get 90$eft to play with lol

i dotn think that is bad choice do u ?

$300 for a motherboard isn't worth it. You might consider spending $120 on another mobo and spending $100 more on a faster vid card

U guys r stupid..

The intel prescot 2.8eghz($240) is good for 3d Modelling IE- BENCHMARKING. and the best Graphics card on the market is a 256MB Radeon X800 XT (which is $600) which has 16 pipelines which has a core clock of 1120Mhz. the Nvidea 6800 is cra* compared to the x800. trust me, i own my own network with over 47 computers. ive had every computer imaginable. like i said.. u want performance , go for the Prescot 2.8e, u want power, go for the AMD ATHLON. LOOK IT UP IN THE COMPARISON GUIDES.. and whoever called me a moron, is a bigger knucklehead then i thought.

"i own my own network with over 47 computers."

the credibility of posters is earned through the clarity and reasonability of their posts. So despite your vast wealth, you have earned no credibility so far.

Well said, johnoh
