Which System has the Better Performance

[danklumpp]

I am going to build a computer soon, and I would like any opinions on which is has the better performance right now, not thinking of the future. They both cost the same price:

AMD Athlon 64 3400 (754-pin)
1 GB Corsair XMS PC3200
Leadtek Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT (AGP) (Will OC to Ultra Speeds)
160 GB Western Digital SATA 7200 RPM

AMD Athlon 64 3200 (939-pin)
1 GB Corsair XMS PC3200
HIS Hightech ATI Radeon X800 XL (PCI-E)
160 GB Western Digital SATA 7200 RPM

939. What mobo? Also you could get a better video card by getting cheaper memory and an Athlon 3000.

I am looking at the BFG motherboard. It has the nForce4 Ultra chipset.

Waste of money for BFG name. Rebadged something-or-other, not worth it. Look at DFI, Asus, MSI, or Chaintec (for cheap).

go for the second, but BFG is not known for making motherboards so if u wanna experiment ... pls go AHEAD 🙂 otherwise msi, asus, dfi, epox, abit, they all good

If you are comfortable with OCing then go with:

Athlon 3000 Venice
DFI LanParty Ultra-D
1GB OCZ Value
6800 GT (can OC better than x800xl)
