I'd personally take the Asus M2N-Sli Deluxe motherboard and the AMD X2 4600+. | |

|  still looking and my apologies
heyal,
sorry i haven't posted in a while but family crisis things going on been rather crazy
so i do apologize.
in regards to the cpu i wanted to go as high as possible and lately been checking prices on the am2 5200 above that they seem to jump quite abit higher.
i've been back and forth to new egg but still havent' got it at the right times the deals listed above are way past lol i check the pricewatch too but they aren't what they used to be.
in regards to the power supply i don't want to go under 500w but thinking the 600-650 but still undecided i'm sure the that 500-550 would be good tho.
i would like to go with an Asus mb just because i've always wanted one and they always seem to have the quality behind it.
i have the funds for my next piece hoping for either mb or cpu would be kewl for combo deal.
i used to have these places where u could get just awesome deals that u couldnt get anywhere else and now either they are are gone or their prices are just about same as others.
anyone have any of those rare places? can you share them with me? pretty please?
thanks for everything,
sb | |

You dont need anything over a 500W Power supply.
The PSU ExReaction linked to is better than most 500W PSU's. Amps on the 12V are what really matter.
It seems your budget is high enough to get a Core2Duo. Intel E4300 170$ Intel E6300 183$
As for the GPU, get a 7900GS or a x1950Pro. They can be found for 150$ at newegg and are the best performers at their price. | |

heyal,
thanks for replies, great about the psu kewl now i know to look for case with 500w but the prices carl33p posted are WAY outta my league and sorry no my budget is in no way high enough but i want to go for as much as i can so i won't be have or want to upgrade it for long time.
i did say that i was looking at the 5200's and because there were some deals but only if i'm lucky enough to find that spectacular deal lol ... i hope not to go under 4600 tho.
karmakiller i'm not familar with motherboard and am still looking through the options too thanks!
i've always purchased the cases with psu yal seem to go separate .... i wish i had all yal's budgets lol hell i paid $35. for future power case/psu 400w years years ago puppy lasted 5 years too lol
well i just walked in when i checked these messages & posted so need to get me jammies on and reboot cuz she's sloooow lol
sTAnd bACk ..... ~``\\ ^@!@^ //~` CLEAR!
lol have to get the paddles on my pc to give her a jump lol
thanks again so very much i really appreciate it
