I used to keep on the latest hardware PC wise, but after the sandbridge 2600K (my current system) i haven't kept up the last 2 years roughly.
I'm looking at building a MAME machine that will play the latest/greatest stuff and was thinking, whats the best board CPU memory setup price wise.. AMD or Intel?
how cheap can i go (overclocking is fine but not edge of your pants stuff, stuff that will run for 2-4 years, but include a Heatsink in prices then). make me some builds with some info on where to buy..
I3- 3220? and a $100 MB? which one? better speed out of some AMD combo.. remeber MAME is CPU, graphics card is notthing..
give me some ideas, cheaper the better.
Should this be in general Hardware? sorry... if so..i figured pc gamers are hardware fanatics too.. damn no i think im in the wrong spot.
