New CPU & Motherboard decision.

[Jacal]

Which is the more ideal type of cpu/mother combination to buy. An AMD set or Intel set for gaming purposes, and if i could get you recommendations on reliable boards that would also be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

(Hope this is the right thread )

Well, I would say (something TS guys told me and they proved me wrong) (sorry TS)
Core 2 Duo is an excellent CPU, and as far as MOBO, I would buy Gigabyte.

The size of the parts is all up to how much money you want to spend.

Opininions may differ, so hear what the other guys say!!

I am looking for a board and cpu for less than $200.

Aaah Damn.

I wish I could help you on that one, but SA currency is real bad and I have no Idea what the $ prices of PC stuff is, maybe one of the other guys can help you on that one, sorry

Of course there's a free mug at the moment.

 

[CMH]

whoops, sorry, no E6320 for you.

E4300
Gigabyte 965P-S3

I think I got mixed up with the other thread where I said you can easily get those items for less than 300, not 200

 

[Jacal]

lol both of those are for $115 each well atleast it not that much over the $200.
$30 over lol
Good stuff non the less, thanks for the help.

Question of Commodities Market.......

The Gigabyte P965-DS3 is on sale for a $100.00 USD at Newegg, With Free shipping. The E4300 Allendale is on sale at Newegg for $114.50 USD with free shipping also. This comes to $214.49 (USD).

And even if it came to $230.USD you would have to consider the computer part monetary exchange rate rule; You are always forced to spend more than you want to or should. Accordingly, $230.00 or 215.00 actually is $200.00.

I hope this clears this issue up. Can you end a sentence with a preposition?
