no sir, i don't like it.

for one, you've got an am2+ processor and an am3 board with ddr2 memory. besides that, you can get a combo with a 955 for that price. you could also afford a 4870 1gb or gtx260 for the price of that 250.

Dang. Looks like a didn't save the other file last night....up till 12am workin on it. Gotta change alot of stuff now.

 

[milsteadg]

I'm thinkin about an ASUS board but I'm really hesitant, reading reviews. Some like it....some don't.

 

[brblx]

where are you buying from? if newegg, i'd choose a combo from here-
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...d=0&PageSize=10&page=1

the very first one is pretty damn decent, even factoring in the overpriced memory. but there are lots of $60-80 mobo discounts in that list.

edit- which board are you talking about? generally speaking, asus is one of the best in the business.

 

[milsteadg]

It was just some of the reviews that I was scanning through. Not this particular board though.

 

[milsteadg]

yeah you are right. That combo is pretty decent. Might actually have to put that into consideration. Dangg. That ram is overpriced.

You are buying too much power supply. But then, that seems to be the cool thing to do.
