As posted elsewhere I used to play allot of games & like to overclock. However this has all changed in the last 5 years. My setup is now 5 years old & I'm looking to change things. mainly due to the ram sockets on my mobo failing, with only 1 working now.
I'm really just looking for advice & a view on what to buy. I'm not too fussed on compatibility issues in the future as I won't be changing for another 5+ years or if something goes pop. So I guess I'm happy with DDR2 & AM2+ mobo's?.
I'll be using if mainly for the net, a few vid's & editing HD or high res video's. I already have a Tagen 480w PSU & a GF6800 ultra, which I'm keeping. So I'm after a mobo, ram & cpu. Ideally best bang for buck. Things like SB700 s SB710 i'm not sure about, same with 770, 780, 785 chipsets & such.
So I thought about going with -
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 965
Corsair XMS2 4GB (TWIN2X4096-8500C5C)
Asus M4A77D (think this has the 710SB?)
What do you think?
Cheers & thanks for your help.
