hi,
i have recently posted a thread on a new pc and have been recommended the following setup but would like to pass it through some others before i start the build
----cpu----
AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.2GHz Socket AM3 $118.82
should i wait for the new processors ?
---mother board---
Gigabyte GA-880GMA-USB3 $172.26
any pros/cons or recommendations ?
---ram---
G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 PC10666/1333MHz CL8 $89.00
---hardrive---
Samsung SpinPoint F3 HD502HJ 16MB 500GB $66.09
---case(s)---
Antec Three Hundred 82.82
or maybe a
Cooler Master HAF 922 . $187 (is it worth getting something fancy like this?)
---DVD---
Lite-On iHAS324 DVD 31.25
---graphics---
Sapphire Radeon HD6870 (11179-09) HDMI Dual-DisplayPort Dual-DVI 1GB $335.02
how does this compare to the HD6850? and why are there so many like 6850 made by gigabyte and also by asus?
---powersupply---
Antec High Current Gamer 520W psu $118.28
is there any benefit of getting a 550W or above psu?
---monitor---
any difference in these two ?
http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=599439 or http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=712999
will i be able to connect a macbook pro to these ?
heres a link to my old thread just in case http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/312314-31-first-build-help
thanks
