Hi,
I want to buy a new pc. I will be using it 24/7. I will also use it for gaming. This is the config in my mind
AMD X2 3800+
Asus A8N-E or A8N-VM
2x 512MB RAM
Geforce 7600GS
250GB SATA Hard Drive
DVD-RW
Printer
Samsung 740N TFT
I have a few questions:
1]Socket 939 or AM2? I am confused. I'm not going to upgrade atleast for the next two years. I don't mind Socket 939 if it saves me some money. Which will be cheaper 939proc + mobo +ddr or am2 +mobo +ddr2? Also heard that there are compatibility issues with ram on am2 boards.
2]Will a 500 Watt Powersafe be enough for overclocking the x2 and gpu? If not, please suggest one in the same price range.
I'm going to overclock the x2 to abt 2.2to 2.4Ghz. I don't want to push it too far. I'll use stock cooling and stock voltages. My budget for psu is 2.5-3k max
3]Which brand ram Kingston, Hynix or Transcend? What's their price and performance differences? I'm not going to overclock the ram. How do I know that the ram is genuine and of good quality?
4]a8n-e or a8n-vm?(suggest some other in case of am2)
Thanks in advance
