Which is better?

I building this one for my brother, i'm trying to stay in the budget. I know mine is good, thats why i got it! heh
 
your should have him buy your 3400 and lanparty off you are you get a new mobo nf3 😀 and 3200 or 3500 just a thought. to tell you the truth i dont know what mobo is better msi or the gigabyte i am sure they will be good anyways though.
 
Why would i want to sell my board and CPU and get a 3200? I have a 3400 right now.....He doesn't want to spend more than $600 and I need a board that won't go over his budget. Still don't know why i would get a 3200 when i have a 3400
 
because the 3400 u have is socket 754 and newcastle core. the 3200 socket 939 can oc nicely and has the winchester core. plus you will get s939 making it a faster and more upgradabilty.
 
I see what your saying now, i didn't know you was talking about 939 board. Heh. Thanks i might look into that.

Do you know what brand is better though? MSI or Gigabyte...just in case i don't sell mine.
 
I have another question. Is there any way i could get a PCI Express mobo for the AMD so i can get a PCI Express Video Card?
 
yes the new Nf4 boards but those are socket 939 socket 754 is dying out.
and you would have to get new video card unless you wanna sell him that too.
also i think xpress 200 is coming around the corner.

The Soltek would be a very good board; consider the budget NF3 250 offerings from Epox and Chaintech as well.

As for PCIe, it remains to be seen whether someone will release an NF4 or K8T890 for S754, but I know at least the NF4 can, in fact, be used with that socket, so there is some hope. If not, then I'm sure AGP midrange cards sufficient enough for gaming will still be available for a sufficient period of time so you can upgrade then. I would advise against getting a PCIe board right now, though, as even if you could afford a S939 they're still quite costly and immature.
