Building your own computer
I have some questions about building a computer. I have an idle motherboard i want that does not have a proccessor, does it matter what type of proccessor I have for the motherboard?

Also do all the parts have to be specifically made for the motherboard?like if you get an ASUS motherboard you have to get an ASUS processor or RAM thing...?

This is assuming that its new...

It depends is the motherboard LGA775 or AM2?
Also ASUS dosnt make processors i dont think..and if they did i wouldnt buy because they make motherboards not processors.
If its LGA775 then get a Intel Processor and if its AM2 get AMD.
And it dosnt matter what RAM you get just as long as its DDR2

ok wells its an AM2, have any suggestions on a good fast proccessor? any price works just need a good one.

What price range are you looking at for a processor?
 
Building your own computer
im guessing no more then about 120 dollars. anywhere from 1-120 would be good.

does this deal sound good to you?
proccesor:AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800+ 2.0 GHz Processor with 89-Watt Power
Motherboard:Asus M2N-E AMD Athlon 64/Sempron Ready Socket AM2 ATX Motherboard

total: 186 dollars with free shipping.

yea that sounds great :D
ASUS is the best motherboard company imo and i dont think you can go wrong with that deal
 
Building your own computer
Yeah and both are brand new. Any suggestions on graphics card? Im willing to spend quite a pretty penny on a graphics card. Want to have some kick @ss graphics!
 
Building your own computer
well you done want too spend too much. mabey 250 max because you dont want it to bottle neck. Nvidia is the best in my opinion.
Ill find a good card for you, one sec..

Another question, does the graphics card only improve games that you put in do you CD drive thing? Or does it improve other things like websites, java games, ect..
I'm going to use my computer for alot of gaming though too... so either way its ok i just wanted to know

yep it would run both really good, You dont need much of a system to run web based games but if you put those three together you can run web based games perfectly and alot of DVD/CD games that you get from the store pretty well also

Um...can you send me a link to your motherboard..Because it might already have 5.1 in it.
 
Building your own computer
umm, You could get a sound card if you wanted 5.1 sound around your room. But that will have just the 2 speakers which is fine too.

And they say the exact same processor on the bundle package that i mentioned...Damn im good hahaha
