KamiQuazi Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I would wait till the FX60 came out... dual core unlocked... hey what more could u want? Eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash2004 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I would'nt bother with the x800xt for games, the x1800 series would be a better buy or wait for cards based on the r580 core.As for ram I'm using the XMS3500 2GB matched pair from Corsair, I'd avoid the value select stuff as every single set I've had has been bad so far.

ripken204 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 if you dont want to wait for the fx60 then get an opteron 165 or betterget 2 gigs of ramif you want to overclock then get a dfi nf4 board, otherwise get the asus a8n-sli premiumi have this ram:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820146397mines doing 3-4-4-8 260 2.6vif u put 2.7 into them then you can get 3-4-3-8 all the way up to 280 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Great suggestions. I would wait to build a computer right now because of the slew of hardware updates coming out and also that would enable in price drops of older hardware. So my advice is to hold out as long as you can and till like March or so and then buy your rig and you will find the same amount of money going a longer distance.
