meade916 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 i gotta brand new in box Thermal-Take super tower thats been collecting dust for a while and im thinkin of building another computer - ill probably hit up Newegg for all the parts........what is the latest shit i should get that you guys would recommend if you were building one for yourself? Is it AMD? Intel? The mainboard needs to be able to support SLI because i cant go back to a single card ever again (for gaming anyway). so what is it? I know theres other underground nerds here so tell me! Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

RamenNoodles Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Your best bet would be to go with an AMD Phenon processor because they have the unlocked multipliers and are in the 2-300 price range. They are quad core. And the Intel Quad core with the unlocked multipliers is in the price range of 1500$. I personally am an Intel fan but that processor is a hell of a deal. You can get great prices on 4gb of ram no a days too. If running SLI you should go with a 650+ watt PSU that is SLI certified. I really like Zalman CPU coolers as well. All copper with copper piping and a nice sized fan up on there for like 70 bucks is leet Quote Diablo Audio Technologies Fi Car Audio Ascendant Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
