Hello,

I need to buy CPU/Mother board/ RAM/ Video Card,

Please help. I need a good motherboard and cpu that will not bottleneck a GeF 9800 GTX or similar. I can't track the latest tech anymore. Please help.

Thanks in advance!

What are the uses of the pc? Budget? Any overclocking?

Is this for gaming? Also, what is your budget?

What's your budget, and what exactly do you already have.

Secondly what is your computer going to be used for?

Do you want to overclock?

Hi, sorry for late reply. Just came back from traveling.

I currently have a Dell XPS 600 I bought in 2005.

Current specs:

P4 640? 3.2GHz
2GB Ram, i think DDR2

2x GeForce 7800 GTX 256mb each.

dont know what the motherboard is.


I need to upgrade my system, to something that can run most new games.
Budget is around 600-800. Maybe 1000 is Very very MAX if i can keep it for another 3 years.
I can use my current HD, monitors, ect... Prob need new case and power supply.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

4GB of any DDr2-800 memory
Antec Nine Hundred Case
Antec Earthwatts 500 or 600 power supply
ATI Radeon 4850 Video Card


that should be about $600-$700 max and will give you plenty of power

What he said. The only thing to possibly substitute is an E8400 3GHz Core2Duo processor. It will be faster in almost every game out right now. The quad-core will be more future proof, but that may take a while.
