Would like some help with a new setup I will be getting.

[Lifeslash]

So here's the scoop. I work at BestBuy so some things may be cheaper, and I will take a look at them tomorrow while I work but for now:

I'm looking to spend about 500-600 dollars. I will be re-using keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, hard drive, and video card.

I made a small shopping cart on newegg that has:

Mobo: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157244[/url]
PSU: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028[/url]
Processor: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727[/url]
RAM: (Through crucial.com) But it'll be 8GB for about $100 dollars.

My total is looking at around 469. Can someone tell me what else I could add to maybe get it to 600 that might give me a little bit better performance? Or maybe add a video card or something.

Thank you, FP. :iiam:

also are you going to utilize 8gb of ram, and i would wait until there are better AM3+ boards on the market so you can upgrade the CPU in the future

[Lifeslash]

Nope. But does it really hurt to have it?

Would you recommend an intel processor instead? Or.. if you could help me with a build, that'd be dope. :)

[Armotekma]

if you aren't going to utilize 8gb then there's no point in having it.

amd is better at this budget

[Lifeslash]

I suppose. So what other board would you recommend? Or board + CPU. Surprise me, go a bit above the price range if you need to.

[Armotekma]

wait until there are better AM3+ boards on the market. the current selection isn't great.

What video card do you have right now?
