You are welcomed and enjoy your new hardware :P

Hmm $463AR and good to go for say 1680 x 1050 hehe

$463 AR

Hmm i would actually advocate Option 1 with a DDR3 twist :P Reuse his 7800GTX and if he really needs to game await the impact of Fermi on HD5k prices? Could be at that LCD resolution HD 5750/5770 is about right down the road too ^^ $460 free ship

Depending if u looking for AM2+ or AM3 ones AM2+ Biostar A770E (available on Egg) $60 AR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138168 AM3 Biostar A785G3 (available on Egg) $58 free ship http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138182 Do note there is no 100% success rate for...

I would also suggest an AM3 socket chip with an AM2+ mobo and reusing your DDR2? The gains going brisbane-->windsor core: the biggest gains are in gaming but considering Windsor is inferior clock for clock to the new step up i.e the 1st K10 dual core Kuma and how these are then spanked by...

Hmm just for school work, music, and a little gaming on the side i'd say u dun need so much processing power with unlocked multi hehe Perhaps something like this would suffice your needs at just $568AR free ship from Egg USA

Batty's Monster frames for the low dollars build for you? :P

Off Egg USA $451 AR including ship ^^

Oww look to hit minimum HD 5830 or ideally a HD 5850 and this project can get you awesome frames in your games for a whole lot less than $950 actually *if* u are open to non i7 solutions...which as stated is fine for a non rendering/encoding rig Sugegsted config is $780AR...$920AR if you upgrade...

All off Newegg USA ^^

IIRC this was for back in the 939 days when peeps upgraded from there single cored A64 Athlon64 Venice/Winchesters to say X2 Toledos/Denmarks So i would say there is no need

FYI: Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) on Thuban/Zosma is just like Deneb/Heka i.e it 'talks' to both DDR2 and DDR3 hence making all/any AM2+ mobos with DDR2 DIMM slots good to go with a BIOS update ...like this el cheapo Gigabyte 760G hehe Just thought i'd post these in hardware forums i am a...

Well for naysayers claiming Thuban/Zosma is AM3 only - one of the lowest end Gigabyte 760G/AM2+ mobos gets a spanking new BIOS to support those incoming chips @@

Hmm best elaborate what hardware u currently have, resolution u gaming on, etc so we could better advise you on your planned move I can say that a HD 4850 > 9800GT $190 for an LGA 775 dual core these days does not make a lot of sense either to be honest...
