I have a 100 ? budget for new processor. Looking at the price list at mindfactory.de, which is where I am going to buy my parts from, they have this selection :
Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 2.60GHz 800MHz S775 2MB 65nm tray -- 91 ?
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2,53GHz 1066MHz S775 3MB Box -- 97 ?
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz 1333MHz S775 4MB 65nm Box -- 100 ?
Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 2.6GHz 800MHz S775 2MB 65nm Box -- 105?
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz 1333MHz S775 4MB 65nm tray -- 115?
The higher the E number, the faster it is, right ? So I am thinking about buying the E7200.
I have no idea about the mobo though, just need something that can fulfill the following specs :
The box will have 2 SATA Harddrives and one IDE harddrive and one IDE DVD drive.
Not sure if newer Mobos still support IDE, if not then its not a big deal
A new 2GB DDR2 will be installed, have 50? budget on this.
An ancient MSI NX6600 GT will be installed until I buy a newer graphic card. Have a 150-200 ? budget on this one, will buy it next month.
Overclocking capabilities of the mobo is not a factor.
Also, how powerful should my power supply be for the newer graphic card... say a 9800GT ?
Thanks for your help
EDIT:
Oh yeah, have around 100? budget for the mobo though its flexible at this point
