| 556474 | 2007-06-05 20:42:00 | Well, its not as good a motherboard. I'd choose the M2N-SLI. And for gaming upgrading the graphics card would make more difference than the CPU anyway. |

| 556475 | 2007-06-05 21:14:00 | The CPU will be OK, but will not make anywhere as much difference to gaming, you need to upgrade the GFX card for that... and 2GB of RAM will be better then 1GB What is your budget? |

There is NO reason to buy AMD at the moment. |

| 556479 | 2007-06-06 10:47:00 | There is NO reason to buy AMD at the moment. Price. I got my motherboard (asus) and CPU (AMD 4600 x2) for about 2 or 3 hundred less then a similar performing Intel CPU and motherboard. Which left plenty of spare cash for the video card. Resulting in a package with far superiour performance then what the same money would have got me if I had gone Intel. This was a couple of months ago, so don't hold it against me if prices have changed. |

| 556480 | 2007-06-06 11:01:00 | Well we get things at different prices to what you will so it will be very hard to recommend items... What is the current CPU? as in model. If you are looking at spending that little to upgrade then I would suggest getting more RAM and a better GFX card and leave the mobo and CPU for later add an extra 1GB of DDR400 RAM will cost less than $100NZD and that will leave $225NZD (if winmacguy is right) for the GFX card so an 8600GT will cost about the $225 NZD and these prices are rough and buying from reputable retailers... But have a look at online stores that have your currency and see what they have for your price range |
