My motherboard fried (tried to install an old hard drive), and I'm just going to upgrade my mobo, processor and video card. I have a GTX 260 now, amd phenom x3 8450 right now, and my cd drive is dead. Here's my upgrades.

Cheaper GPU that's just as good. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121361[/url] Everything else looks good.

I recommend the Diamond

Switching motherboard to this: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128395[/url] Cheaper, all great reviews and incredible layout
/Facepalm Diamond are like Sparkle. Shit. Unreliable. Go safe with a better known company in computing. Powercolor, Sapphire, His, XFX, Asus
Okay. Going for XFX mainly for the double lifetime warranty. [editline]02:16PM[/editline] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150442&cm_re=5850-_-14-150-442-_-Product[/url]
Yep, good choice

Ordered everything. Got it all for $580 with shipping, including an anti-static cord (waste prolly but better safe than sorry) and a new dvd burner writer
I always wondered, how long is lifetime? When you get a lifetime in jail its RARELY actually your whole life time, or just long enough until your old... If it is your life, lol at double? Incase your jesus?
