Obvious brag thread is obvious.GamerkatMeh, you're right but still. I remember getting a great computer (which is now garbage a year later) and being so happy about it. If he wants to brag a little bit, I don't mine. Nice rig. I'm jealous.

Look on Newegg.com for all the parts. Start with something like this, and adjust for budget.

- AMD 790GX CrossFireX Mainboard
- 4GB PC6400 DDR2 RAM
- 500GB 7200RPM SATA-II HD
- ATI HD4850 512MB Video Card
- LG 20X DVD Rewritable Drive
- 600Watts Stereo Speakers
Guys, don't be jerks.
You're computer isn't really meant for gaming. That being said, I can think of some games
- Counter Strike 1.6
- Battlefeild 1942
- Empire Earth
- Rise of Nations
- Day of Defeat
Okay, so I am buying a new motherboard to replace the one I currently have. I am going to wipe my harddrive and perform a clean instal but I'm still confused. I don't think I will have issues with the pysical instal, but do I wipe my harddrive before I instal the new mobo? After it? Will it come with a bios that just isn't updated?
Just a tutorial or any help you can offer, assume I know nothing (because I probably don't). Thanks!
If it makes a difference I am also going from intel to amd (not looking for a battle, I'm just not sure if that changes anything).
When looking for a PSU don't fall for the 800 Watt ones. You never really need 800 watts, and having a ton of watts doesn't mean a quality PSU.
I have a Corsair 550 watt and it handles anything I throw at it.
Corsair and OCZ are quality brands.
I have two builds, all around the same price point (all at MAX budget, soI can't get an X4). I also have toget a new MoBo (my old one is fried) with either build.
The first one is a Core 2 Duo E8400 Build:

The second is a Phenom II X3 build:

I'm interested to learn more, so please tell me WHY one build is better.
Thanks
