Hey,
going to build a new rig for a friend again. Following specs so far:
CPU: Intel C2D E8500
RAM: GEIL BlackDragon 4096MB DDR2 800MhZ
GPU: XFX Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS 512MB XXX
HD: 2x Seagate Barracuda 400GB
As my friend mostly plays some online FPS like CS:S and BF2 he doenst care too much about SLI or high resolution graphics.
But he wants to toy around with his CPU as I know him.
What Motherboard do you guys suggest? Chipset, brand. Price limit circa 150-180€.
Should I go for a Intel X38 or X48 chipset? Or better trust Nvidias Nforce chipsets?!
