Hey, I am going to purchase a new gaming pc and i have a couple questions. So far i have:
ASUS A8N-SLI Socket 939 Nvidia nForce4 motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor
eVGA Geforce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
Corsair XMS 1GB (2x512mb) 184-Pin DDR 400 SDRAM
Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 250GB ATA150 HDD
ENERMAX Whisper II ATX12V 535W PSU
Im going to use my current case (thermaltake XaserIII), dvd burner, and possibly my SB Live! 5.1 PCI sound card, but i was wondering if the ASUS mobo's onboard sound ( Realtek ALC850 ) is better than my soundblaster?
Also i know this is out of place in this section of the forums, but ive done research on all these parts, and I was wondering if you would give me your input on if you think this is a good setup or not.. And if they both are really really bad, is there a decent upgrade for under 50 bucks? Im not very knowledgeable on soundcards..
The total came out to $971.97 on newegg.. Thank you!
