Working on the new system

Here is what I have found so far for my new system. Just a little background I am planning on gaming with this system most notably Vanguard.

You can get an idea for my price range through the items I am buying. I have everything else I need in my old system (which isnt much more). Looking for any suggestions or options.

the secure.newegg.com links don't work because we don't have access to your shopping cart...

so what is your price range?

wow don't I feel like the smart one. My budget for the processor (AMD) and Motherboard $300 - $425 for the set.

The links for the other stuff should work. The whole system I am thinking will cost me around $750

Get a Core 2 Duo, and blow away all AMD processors. I suggest the E4300 and it can OC to 3.5Ghz EASILY, and blow away a FX-62.

so a 6400 would oc past 3.5ghz?

 

[F1N3ST]

Well a E4300 would OC better than a E6300 or E6400(I think on the 6400) because it has a lower FSB, and Higher Multiplier. Wait, WTF, DDR?? Get DDR2 it would be WAY smarter, faster, future proof, energy efficient, get AM2 if your dead seat on AMD (Which would be dumb)
