   |  Help me with a new build So I lost my desktop PC to electro-static shock. Went to turn the sucker on and ZAP.... Not sure exactly what is fried, it may be the motherboard or just the PSU... Dont have any other parts around to test. Looking to replace the motherboard and cpu for sure. If other essentials got fried as well I know what to get. When it comes to these new motherboards and cpus though I don't know whats what anymore for a decent gaming rig. Old specs... Amd Athlon X2 5200+ AM2 Foxconn AM2 motherboard 2x1gb Crucial Ballistix ddr2 pc6400 Nividia geforce 8800gt alpha dog OCZ game extreme 700w PSU Looking to spend no more than $300'sh on a new mother and cpu What do you guys recommend for something in the AM2/AM2+ or AM3 flavors btw... not really looking for anything triple or quad core... Heard these cpus are lackluster when it comes to games. And if anyone has any ideas about a complete build (psu, mobo, cpu, vid card, ram) for around $700 I would love to hear them. |
