3-4K....GO
Oh...im looking for quad core. 4gb and gtX or ultra... or when is 9x coming out?

[spyboy1o1]

no 4gb, thats overkill~ 9xx ftl, doing some crussfire is better and cheaper~

No offense but i dont think you know very much about pcs.... 4gb isnt overkill, its almost recommended if you run vista IMO Secondly 9xxx series is out, nvidia 9600GT has come out, its a budget card, falls somewhere between 8600 and 8800 in performance

;[ ok even running vista, and if u ran crysis or something heavy and your running aeru... you wont need 4gb... and 9xx is not that great... crossfire some 8570's and ur set... oh and with new setup ur able to do 4 pci expresses... get 4 of em babys running ur set...

[sting13]

First of all i have no idea what you mean by 8570... no card by that number exists, secondly running crossfire requires 2 video cards... so how is that cheaper? 8800GTX pwns all right now...

[spyboy1o1]

ment 3870, typo

You're like Dr. Nick from the Simpsons. But of course, with computers instead of lives; even though for most of us our computers are our lives.

I told you what i am looking for, I told you the price range, now get me an awsome set up. If you can't do it, don't claim it

FYI GTX and ULTRAS prices DO NOT justify the performance increase. 4 gig is normal for gaming, and no you dont need it for basic Vista use, 2 gig will work. 4+ is good for vista gaming. 9 series is out, but they arent great now, a bit better than the 8600. But then again the 7950s are better than the 8600s. 8800GT is still the best bang for the buck. E8400 is the best for the buck too. Quad and duals have similar performance on games, get about .02 FPS more with quad for some reason.

E8400 is the best for the buck too.

And that's what I'm currently trying to build. The two problems I'm having are that I keep reading that the motherboards don't support them without a BIOS update and the damn things just aren't in stock.

I've been researching motherboards for a month. I don't exactly want to pay $250 for a mobo, but some of the best options look like they're in that range. I was hoping to go closer to 170-190, but in the end I just want to get the damn thing and to hell with the money.

So can someone provide some motherboard advice for an E8400? I've mostly been considering Gigabyte, EVGA or ASUS. I have a love/hate relationship with ASUS =-)

Thx
