I need help on buying a CPU and motherboard.....

[Dofuss3000]

I was at Compusa on Wednesday and saw a bunch of CPUs and motherboards, what are the best???

 

[Emulex]

but of course, the most expensive ones.

try posting in the CPU or motherboard forums.

The logical way of thinking is:
How much can you afford?

Try again--After choosing the correct forum--
be specific about the items that interest you. LOL

I did a research for a while, and I just needed some upgrade from my celeron 450mhz
so got the EPOX 8KTA3 motherboard with a Athlon Thunderbird 900mhz Chip.
you can get them both for $249 + shipping at mwave.com
I think even a thunderbird 700mhz should do you perfectly fine.
Just a suggestion, I don't know what you need it for or anything.
But I don't think it's necessary to buy those gigahertz cpus, I think
the 900mhz wasn't necessary either.. ok, I'm just babbling.

Once you decide, the place I like and have had a good experience with buying a CPU/MB combo is monarch computer...

You cannot find the best MB there, so forget it.
