W/ a budget of approx. $750 (w/out monitor & acces.) , is there any advice you guys can give (in terms of brands, compatibility of parts and what not)? i have been out of the loop w/ computer tech. |

In terms of boards it depends on your preference and on the features..............maybe something that has USB3 to future-proof the build, but if you're just going to use it for work you don't need to get something that's non-integrated (unless you plan to play some games on it in whatever spare time). Your primary things are CPU for crunching, RAM for workspace and hard drive. I'd prolly suggest getting at least one SSD. Others may come in and suggest different brands such as Gigabyte, Asus, EVGA or others but staying within the budget may not be so hard. Look at this -> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...9394&CatId=4149 <- if you can get a barebone system for 600 dollars with those specs I'm fairly sure that you can build something for about the same price or less to fit your needs. |

Just a guy towing a car across the country to chase a dream.  Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 9,272 Member No.: 30,193 Joined: Jul 25th 2008 Location: Plymouth, MN | I know the end cost was somewhere around there after reusing the old case, but a buddy of mine recently had me build him a 6-core AMD box, 16GB RAM, dual Radeon 5870s. Good times. Great results. |
