If you can get the RAM and PSU (Stick with a single 2gb ddr3 for now, no more than 1333mhz) then later you can add an extra 2gb stick for dual channel; windows 7 and a graphics card. |

| 1229754 | 2011-09-09 22:56:00 | Yay !!!!! Thanks jared, ill do that. Perhaps the phenom II that was mentioned above? I'll get a mobo for my b day from dad. And 2 gigs off trademe, and that enermax PSU. Oh btw my current comp, both ddr sticks have broken now so i have no computer any more :( need to build this one quick. | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
| 1229755 | 2011-09-09 23:07:00 | are you sure theyre both broken? have you run memtest? post a new topic on pressf1 | jareemon (5207) | ||
| 1229756 | 2011-09-10 03:21:00 | dad buys the mobo, M4N68T-M V2. get the RAM and PSU then later add an extra 2gb and a graphics card. +1 Sounds good to me. |

| 1229757 | 2011-09-10 05:59:00 | sounds good to me too. I think that Ill get dad to buy the phenom II CPU, and Jared, you can buy the mobo please :) ill then get the PSU and Ram. does the mobo have a sata connector for the HDD? | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
| 1229758 | 2011-09-10 07:03:00 | Yes. It has 4 SATA and one IDE. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1229759 | 2011-09-10 07:23:00 | cool. that means I can also connect my dvd rom drive, which i sort of need. any opinions on OS? i have bothe sp3 xp and vista, but vista gets bad publicity, but i dont know which i prefer because I havent used vista in ages. Is vista actually better? also does this: www.elive.co.nz ram sound good? | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
| 1229760 | 2011-09-10 07:35:00 | also, as my dads paying for it, how about this CPU? www.elive.co.nz | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
| 1229761 | 2011-09-10 07:39:00 | That CPU should work, if its for the ASUS mobo you posted before. Thats if its the same as this Athlon IIX4 640(ADX640WFK42GM),3.0GHz,512KB,rev.C3,95W,SocketA M3 which is on the ASUS site | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1229762 | 2011-09-10 08:43:00 | The 640 and 840 (Phenom) one have almost identical performance on passmark. I'd get the phenom because it supports a higher ram frequency and is slightly cheaper iirc. | icow (15313) | ||
