You can see in my sig what i'm running right now. I would like some advice on which componet I should buy first. I want to go s(#( . I'm just going to buy one piece at a time and wonder which would be the best investment would be now as for price wise. The board I want is that DFI Neo Platinum n4, and for a cpu I want a 3500 venice. As for video card I have no idea at all and if you could mention a few examples of this new system would be very helpfull. O yea it has to be pci-e. Any suggestions would be great,thx

I would immediately upgrade my browser so the General Hardware tab showed up

Motherboard/CPU upgrade...which because of PCI-E would force you to upgrade the video card at the same time. Unless you want to change your decision regarding the neo platinum and snag one of those new ULi chipset boards.

what's a DFI Neo Platinum n4? don't you mean MSI
mobo and cpu together would be first upgrade, then pci-xpress 7800GT

Which board is this ?, Is the new Uli board better ?

Check out the motherboard section of the website you're on. There's only one asrock board out right now, but the reviews are favorable.

yep I think I'm gonna buy that board , thx for the heads up. I'm going to go read the review as we speak. I can still use my 9800pro then, and upgrade cpu a little later. I was told by a local dealer in town no one makes combo agp/pci-e.

Thx
