BEST $300 amd COMBO?

[alcattle]

Going to look at a little CPU smackdown, Intel vs AMD
The New boy in town e6420 and team-mate Evga 650i sits right at $300
What would you match up against them? See many $175 AM2 MB but nothing closet to $125 to match up w/ a 5600+

at stock speeds the AMD would pack more of a punch, with overclocking in mind, the Intel owns (provided ofcourse you have ram to match etc)

Read the title and the first thread again.

INTEL entry 6420 and eVGA 650i MB

AMD ???

 

[alcattle]

not asking you to buy any system, I want to compare to AMD build. WE all know that INtel rocks.

Wish we had great deals like this in SA. Intel or AMD...

It's ok. You get used to the prices and saving up more for each build. Unless you have some contacts here you pay alot and there's not a whole lot you can do about it. Can't match that combo you've mentioned up there...

 

[alcattle]

ok, what would you build to compare to a $300 e6600 based rig? I mean e6600 and the 945 matx mb you listed.
A 6000+ but what mb?


edited for clarity?

Yes, what would match up with that build? That is a good question. I would like to know too...without researching myself. :lol:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 5600+ Socket AM2

Foxconn C51XEM2AA- 8EKRS2H Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI
