Re:everything but the GPU decided help plz - 2006/09/03 18:48
Good choice. AM2 won't be here for a long time. Because With the K8L, yes it would work on a AM2 mainboard, but will be bottleneck by the board, since it will use Hyper-transport 3.0, that gives 86% more bandwidth.. So your link doesn't work anymore..
The choice would be to stay on s939 for a few months, or getting a Conroe system. I would say to go with the 7600GT, cause it gives a very good performance/price. But you should wait maybe one or 2 weeks, since I saw that in germany, the 7900GT just drop between 190E et 210E, so that would say all other card will drop in price.Don't take 6800, since you will no longer be able to gain performance by adding an other card. You will buy them, and when they will have difficulties to run games, you will have to change card.
A 7600GT is enought, it runs fine games in 1280*1024, but 2x 7600GT, is awesome. I have 2 of them from evga, overclocked on a AMD 4200+ @ 2.5ghz, and I run F.E.A.R. benchmark maxed, in 1280*1024, with an minimum of 50 FPS, maximum of 244, and 98 FPS avegrage. I just can't say anything bad about this card, they run fast for the price, have a good overclock (memory goes over 1600mhz effective, and GPU 600mhz without any volt mod)..
