mobo cost doesn't go up that terrible much but meh i guess i see your point if you are completely not going to buy a gpu then i suppose it's not a bad option to go with that cpu/gpu but i would say if you are getting a gpu i just don't see how it is a very effective choice, aside from being a quad core |

So I decided on mobo and cpu Mobo: same as I posted, the gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 Socket AM3+ 970 ATX upgraded the cpu to a hexacore: -[link]- I'm getting them bundled at microcenter for a total of: $119 seems like an awesome deal. Total so far: $162 - case - mobo - cpu |

So, I think I got most of my shit together, and I'm scrounging up a few more bucks. What do you think would be the best gpu pick for under $140? Preferably ATI/AMD cards due to amd system. |

thats the CPU i picked out for my boss's computer rusty hes getting this mobo to go with it -[link]- this memory for overclocking capabilitiez -[link]- fucking modular power supply -[link]- and a stupid ass evga nvidia 550ti cuz he's a retard U should totally crossfire two radeon 6790s for $240 rusty, it'd be so hot. personally I'm waiting until SSDs get phased out next year source until I upgrade anything major on my PC like a vga card. The harddrive market is moving too fast right now so I'm watching the CPU and Memory as they advance to keep up with them. Anything with a shorter boot time is A+ OK in my book right now.Edited Thu Jun 21 2012, 12:48AM |

This: -[link]- Although I suggest saving up another 20 bucks and getting the 6950. I put one of those in a build I put together for someone in the winter and after I built it it ran flawlessly. |

booooo ati cards suck. Stay on the green team. Unless you plan on Crossfiring, dont bother with ATI and just get an Nvidia |

Rusty I did about 20 minutes of research and found this -[link]- you want it. It comes with a $30 Cash card rebate and ends up at 139.99 Unless youre dropping $400 on the gtx 6xx thats the card Rusty can you hook me up with your deal on the mobo and cpu? Edited Fri Jun 22 2012, 06:39AM |

if you are looking for under $150 the 6850 if you want to put a little extra in either amish's card or the gtx 560 perform pretty much the same (amd being a little more "green") |
