Building new PC

[kabLe]

Well, I'm not good with pcs just like Zealot. Execept I'm worse. I don't know any good motherboards and thats what I'm looking for atm. I was thinking of getting a motherboard within the price range of 150-160 plus shipping and handling. Can anyone reccomend me a good one? Also a decent proccessor. Preferablly Dual Core or maybe an older Quad Core

 

I've found this for a Quad Core http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103706 not sure if its good or not but if it someone tell meh pl0x!

Are you just looking for a Motherboard and Processor?

 

What is your budget.

[kabLe]

Well, I don't want a motherboard that's like 160 bucks and same for the processor.

 

Motherboard-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130250

 

Quad Core-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103706

 

If the processor is good and compatible with the motherboard that's what I'll get.

If not then I'd look towards $100-120 for the processor which would be like a Dual Core/Early Quad Core(I think) and then around $130-140 for the motherboard. Again never had to do this before so I'm not sure if the prices match up with the budget.

Well we also need to know what kind of ram you have and your graphics card and power supply.

So around 260 bucks in total?

Uhh tbh idk the kind of ram I have. All I know is that its a 2 gig stick of it its made by Elpida and that its made in Taiwan.

My video card is a NVIDIA Geforce 6600 PCI Express 2.0

No idea what my power supply is all I know is that itsmade by "micro"

 

So around 260 bucks in total?

 

Ideally yes.

 

If it comes down to it I could easily buy a new power supply. If my current one doenst work then for the price of the motherboard and the Quad Core I'll just find another power supply.

You want gaming graphics?

For a CPU I would go for

And for a Motherboard I would go for either http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131398&cm_re=M4A785TD-V-_-13-131-398-_-Product

 

Or a slighty more expensive one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131366&cm_re=M4A78T-E-_-13-131-366-_-Product

 

Which comes to a $258 for the first motherboard and processer.

 

Or $277 or something for the second.

 

You do realise you need more parts if you were to get the full use out of this?

[b0red]

Is your ram DDR3 or DDR2, if you don't find these things out. Your ram may not work with your motherboard.

First of all, are you building a gaming pc or just ordinary use?
