hey guys, I am new to these forums and I thought I could come here for some advice. I am looking to build a new rig as it is time to upgrade...mostly because my current PC will not run vanguard SOH when it comes out.
My biggest concern is will an AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+ bottleneck the 8800GTX 768 a GREAT amount? I don't really mind if it is a small amount of performance lost because I am not willing to pay 500+ for a CPU.
For about this price range does anyone have any suggestions? The new CPU I am building is:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+
8800GTX 768
Corsair XMS DDR2 800 4GB
Asus M2N-E Socket AM2 nFornce 570 Ultra MB
630W Raidmax PSU
WD Raptor Drive 150MB
The rest of the gear is irrelevant to post on here...I want to stay under about 2 grand to spend, and this is what I have come up with.
Any suggestions? I am not looking for the best performance ever but I am looking to run vanguard flawlessly. That is my goal.
