Why AM2?
The sweet spot on HDD's right now (price + size) are the 500Gig. That's the RAM I've used in my last 2 builds. I'd highly recommend that as well. That's also the same video card I use for my secondary monitors. Other than the AM2 part and HDD size, good choices thus far. |

I mean, I spent 2.5 weeks reading up on my rig and comparing parts etc. Why not just buy a prebuilt and save yourself the effort then if you're not wanting to learn about your own rig? Sorry if this comes off as being short/rude, but it's really true bro. If you don't care enough to try and learn about your rig, why should we? |

C2D provides more bang for buck than AMD at the moment so i would definitley go C2D. This means you will need to change your mobo as well.

I'd get another 250gb HD if you can spare another $70.

[/ QUOTE ] I've heard this a number of times so I headed over to Tom's Hardware and compared the chip he selected to a similarly priced Intel chip (Conroe E6650 for $15 extra). I didn't count but the cheaper AMD chip won a majority of benchmarks I looked at. Including h.264 which I use alot. Personally they're so close saving the $15 is a no brainer. |

Re: new custom pc post
i think the C2D > AMD comments are more relative to the higher end - Q6600 and E6850 are allegedly significantly ahead of AMD. it seems to me that the Q6600 would be a huge bargain for poker players at the moment.
At the lower end, just get whichever is cheaper. |
