My local Fry's has two A64 3500+ for sale this weekend. The one with ECS mobo is $180 and the one with Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe is $400. Don't want a SLI mobo and don't ECS. Thinking about getting the $180, sales the ECS mobo and get another one instead. Any sugestion. Not a gamer but play around with video files "once in a while"
Thanks.

Which ECS board and do you intend to overclock? The recent ECS boards seem to work just fine at stock speeds and the ones based on Nvidia chipsets seem reasonably overclockable. Quality-wise they aren't that bad these days.

I dont think RX480A/3200 combo is on sale any more. The A64 3500+ CPU alone is $200 at newegg. If I can sell the ECS mobo for $20, my cpu will only cost me $160.
