Hey all, i'm looking to build a new cutom rig. I decided to oviusly start with the motherboard.
I'm trying to get my hands on one of these:
DFI LANPARTY UT RDX200 CF-DR CrossFire Motherboard
Or something very simliar. I'm looking for something that is around $150 at most (if its really good can be higher). I like the one i linked to up top becouse it can do all modern proseesors with the 939 socket, its fairly fast, and it has a huge number of pci slots which are a must for me as i plan to be adding gfx card, sound card, possibly a physx card and proboly a wireless card so i like having a lot so i can do all that and still have room for one or two expantions.
My problem now is choosing a prossesor. I'm looking for something that can play newer games so proboly a dual core, but cheaper. (AMD as the motherboard specified is for AMD).
I'm going to go with 1 or 2 gigs of ram to start of, more later when i get the money.
So if anyone has some good suggestions on what prossesor i should get, or if you have a better motherboard sugestion then please advise me on this as this will be my first time building a computerfrom scratch. Please note that there are some really good things out there, but i don't want to pay for then $175 for a motherboard, and no more then $200 for a prossesor.
Thnx for any help or suggestions.
