But i dunno what your requirements are.

msi neo4 platinum

What kind of CPU are you looking at, for the mobo?

 

[Inspector Jihad]

3000+ venice, a 6600 gt, 2x512 3200, a 7200 ata hd

 

[Appledrop]

Im assuming your 6600GT is PCI express here, if it is, get the epox 9NPA+

 

[Inspector Jihad]

sould i go for an agp board?

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Nah! You only save a few bucks by going AGP (nforce3). The PCI-E (nforce4) will be more upgradeable (next gen video, sataII hd's, etc..) and it also has some nice features like hardware firewall and gbit lan that nforce3 doesn't. Well worth the few extra dollars IMO.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

cool, thanks for clearing it up...you got anything in mind guitardaddy that would fit my needs?

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Retail Venice 3000+ $155

Asus A8N-E nforce4 $125

EVGA 6600GT $159 after $15 MIR

PQI turbor 1gb(2x512) PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 $80 after $15 MIR

Athena Power 500w EPS12 24pin power supply $57.50

That totals $576.50, add the case and optical drive(s) of your choice and you should be under $750 for a very good rig

Opps! I forgot the HDD
WD 80gb SATA 7200rpm $57 after MIR

 

[Inspector Jihad]

hey, know anything about this board?

It's fine, a nice stable board. But its AGP and has the same limitations as nforce3 and doesn't overclock quite as well as nforce3. I would go nf4, if your not into heavy overclocking and want to save some bucks check this one out

MSI NEO4-F $85

 

[Inspector Jihad]

^^that board isnt agp and also, i heard bad things about that msi board.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Youre correct. My mistake, I see its the VIA K8T890 PCI-e chipset. I think thats a good one. Search the model number here and you should find some threads about it.
