Good day people!:)

I might be upgrading my system in March after my HSC board exams are done.
I was just wondering if anyone could suggest a good mobo for the processor I might purchase.

My current specs are:
AMD 2000+
1024 mb ram
160GB HDD
Geforce FX 5700LE 128 mb
Logitech MX 518.

Might upgrade to:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Processor (Socket 939, Venice, 90nm, L2 Cache: 512 KB)
Leadtek 6600GT 128MB PCI-E
OR
ATI x800GT 256MB PCI-E
ANTEC Smart Power SP 400 v2.0 SMPS

The rest I dont need to upgrade for the moment.But I just wanted to know if anyone could suggest a cheap but reliable mobo with a PCI-E slot offcourse and would be good for OC'ing.

And if its not too much trouble, if anyone could give me the LATEST prices of the above given hardware.

Thanks in advance:cool2:
 
The A8N-E is a really good mobo and is quite cheap nowadays. The only sad part is the Vcore limited to 1.55V. My A8V allows for more tweaking...
 
A second vote for the A8N-E. Cheap, Reliable and definately lets you get your feet wet with overclocking :)

You mena GTO. And if your geting it from abroad, try to get the Sapphire x800GTO2. You can unlock its pipes and overclock it to a x850xt standard.

^^ Idiot. I know that there are x800GT's...

Just that they suck (:|)....

And in the server, you told me x800GTO DD... So i thought you made a Typo.

Well its dangerous to assume things.
And even I thought that you dint know about the X800GT's.Be more clear next time rather than posting crap and starting an unnecessary flame war.
 
^^ Looks whos talking.

I wasnt saying that the x800GT doesnt exist...

I just laughed coz it sucked.. and thought you made a typo, (as usual).. coz in the SERVER you told me your looking at a x800gto or a 6800gs.

Again id say.. go for the 6800gs :bleh:
 
x800gt has more memory bandwidth than it ever needs. Its always fillrate limited cos of the 8 pixel pipes. GTO/GTO2 and now X850XT are much better deals.
