Money to Spend, need help!

[icehot]

ive not heard of alot of probs with the leadtek.

i would say i game mostly so AMD 64 it is.

ive got 512 kingston hyper X pc3500 atm, and ive had no problems playing hl2 and doom3 on full gfx at all.

Well if you are getting all this quality hardware then get at least a GB of ram, just put another 512 stick in. Alternatively if you do get the ASUS SLI mobo then its dual channel so mabe you could put in a matched pair of sticks, in the dual channel slots and put your current ram stick in the thrid slot for a cool 1.5GB of ram. The ram for that mobo starts at £100 for cheapostuff

to £180 for the best.

ive already got an NV5, but the leadteks are meant to be really quiet with all the copper

[nvening]

Well what psu do you have, you will need serious power.

[icehot]

ive got an Enermax Coolgiant 480w

surley thats enough

[nvening]

thatul abt do it

[nvening]

oh and how muchdid u get the cpu for? and y not an nforce4 board?

[icehot]

well i read that the nforce 4 isnt much different from nforce 3, it just supports pci-e

i got the mobo and cpu for 240 not bad.

I would have suggested Nforce4, but the graphics card you've picked up has tied you down somewhat to AGP

The abit 3rd eye board with a 3500+ will definitely last you a long time and also you've got good overclocking headroom there i'd say.
