    Motherboard question

    Here's the motherboard I'm thinking about getting. Here's the rest of the system I'm building along with it. Here's the RAM I'm planning on using with it. Do any of you see conflicts? I'm willing to spend up to $200 on a better MB. Keep in mind I am not interested in buying a MB for the...

    First comp

    From a budget of $1,700 including peripherals minus OS and games, what would you put together? This is a Vista system but keep in mind that I already have $400 in addition to the seventeen hundred dedicated exclusively to the OS and games, so all of that is out of the equation. It'll be the...

    Just a thought

    I keep hearing people suggest spending more money on the GPU than CPU. Since CPUs retain value longer than GPUs, wouldnt it make sense to spend more on the CPU if you plan on updating the GPU in a year or two anyways?

    this should be easy to answer.

    Is there an architectural difference between say an intel e6300 and a e6400 or are they just set at a different clock rate?

    AMD or Intel?

    I plan on spending around $360 on the processor alone. It will be for gaming and photoshop. I dont plan on doing dual GPU because I think that is a waste of money. Perhaps I'll do a slight OC but nothing major. I should go for AMD right because all my pro gaming friends say they pwn?
