LOTS OF QUESTIONS!and What To Get:S AM2 or 939?Wht Card.What Board?
well basically i dont have a clue what to do know.my 754 setup will be sold i guess.prolly get 60quid in total if i'm lucky (was 90 thanks for a dodgy setup that is still way to unstable and hot at any voltage and it can't be broken otherwise i wouldn't be typing this now...so thanks slinger;) and no i didn't overclock...)
so anyway what do i do?i could maybe get 400 but i dont really want to be spending that kind of cash if its not gonna last.yeah i could kind of keep running this dodgy combo but i want a new gfx setup and i dont know if its my mobo or the cpu or both being dodgy... and apparently its too slow for a sli rig?2.4ghz A3400 512cache socket 754 with a Asus K8V deluxe.i probably would like to get another card for sli (if thats what i should go for ?) at christmas or maybe november.but for the time being a want a tasty gaming rig that will run things like just cause nicely and fear.yeah i can run fear on my 9800pro but i want to really experience it you know...on a budget but yeah.and AM2 whats that all about whats the pros and cons and is it really worth it and will i need new ram which i think i would?if so then im not messing around with that.dual core would be nice but is it really worth it? wont a faster single core wipe it for gaming with say downloads in the background or is their a real noticable difference?Oh and Whats pci-e 8x or 16 isn't it just 2 8x cards=16x or is their 2 16x slots now or what?and what card has what and what should i get:S
I'm just so comfused to what I should do...
So really i guess... is it worth getting/risking new 754 SLi board or just a single PCI-E board and running say a nice 7900GS and using my 2 512 GeIL value ram kit and loosing the other 512 stick... or? AM2/939 and why and can i use ddr? pro/con's on both.what motherboard and why and its pro/con's and what gfx card and should i buy a ati over a nvidia and not go for sli and save money not going sli or crossfire and lower my motherboard costs? and if so what are the benifits/problems i mean in january sales will it really be worth another say 7900 yeah i'd have 2 but i bet there will be a more owning card thats better than the twin 7900's and probably not much more than another 7900...
sorry for all the questions i just feel cheated and really comfused to what to do... cause i game.i download.i do bit of photoshop and vid editing sometimes.i did all this on a 2800barton with 512mb ram then 1.5gb and it was fine and its single core so???? is it all really worth it?will i see a huge difference with say a 3800 dual core and a 7900gs on my dell dh1226h monitor.
again i really do appologise i just need some varied opinions and pro's and con's of all my ideas or the followed suggestions cause i don't want to get stitched up again.
cheers for any help and suggestions you guys give.oh and UK and I DONT mind if its second hand... infact would work out alot better aslong as it works properly this time;) so links and reviews from your experience and from sites would also help.
THANKS!:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
