Hi there,
Attempting a new build after years on a 3400+, 6800Gt system. Already have the GTX 260 Core 216 (190-200 dollars) in hand, along with a 640GB HD (70 dollars) and Case (55 dollars). Budget was 700...working toward that at a decent pace. Gaming Rig.
If I am going down the path of a X3 720, do you guys think the BioStar TForce TA790GX is a decent match? Seems to have mixed reviews, but the massive combo deal (45 dollars off X3+BioStar board) is really hard to pass up. Deal is here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?ItemList=Combo.165025
Any other board that are sub-100 that I should be looking at? ATX form, DDR 1066, easy compatibility with AM3 is really all i need.
For the RAM, I think I will likely go with the G-Skill 4gb DDR 1066 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?Item=N82E16820231166). The cheaper models (OCZ fatalty, etC) seem to have major problems running at 1066.
