i just need to know a good but kinda cheap processor
To go with what amd or intel build. what's your budget???
E4300, cheap, fairly future-proof, and overclockable.
But yeah, i agree with the above post.
More info please!
An E6300 is better, there was a review in this month's CustomPC magazine of the E4300 and they suggested that the £10 difference is not really worth it.
Just shows that CustomPC are writing for the general population, and not for the enthusiast sector :P
E4300 is easier to overclock (you'll get further on cheaper RAM) so that would be my suggestion :)
Otherwise, if you are really on a budget, an AM2 3800+ and a board with inbuilt 6150 graphics could be an option.
A lot of E4300s can just be set to 333 FSB and they run at 3GHz without changing anything else.
Makes their £100 price tag a lot more appealing and you only need DDR667.
And a motherboard that's capable of overclocking to 333.
To the OP, yep, need more information. The Pentium D 805 is a great budget chip for the price.
I stand corrected, thanks guys :)
