Hello everyone, I'm currently in the process of my first build a Gaming Rig, I have heard that the E4300 is an amazing chip but at 1.8GHz how much life will this chip have as the minimum CPU requirement in games that I play is 1.7GHz?
I plan on getting 2GB of DDR2 - 800
An upgradable Mobo something that can accommodate Quad core in a year or so.
ATI X1950Pro until the prices for the DX10 cards become reasonable
Basically nothing to extreme i'd like this pc to have a long life and plan to OC (never done this but will try) as the CPU becomes dated
So I guess the main question is, is the E4300 1.8GHz C2D the best chip for me price/performance and longetivity wise?
Advice, comments and suggestions please.
Thank you.
