TWO PC SET UPS

[pjwinkler]

Hey all, I'm buying a commputer for:

Americas Army
UT 2004
Surfing Internet
MSN

That's pretty much all I'll be doing on it (for now....:roll

I've got two options:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
AMD Athlon 64 2800+
MSI K8N Neo-FSR
6600 GT
Kingston 1G PC-3200 - KVR400X64C3AK2/1GNikao Ogre (Black)
Antec SmartBlue 350
LG 52x CD-ROM

1000.00 CDN

-----------------------------------------------------------------
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (939)
ASUS A8N-SLI
6600 GT
Kingston (2)512MB PC-3200 - KVR400X64C3A/512
Nikao Ogre (Black)
Antec SmartBlue 350
LG 52x CD-ROM

1180.00 CDN

I think I should get the second one, but I don't have enough money right now. In the future I'll probably want PCI express, and I might want to upgrade to SLI . Basically it look future proof for a good while. Does anyone think saving 180.00 bucks CDN is worth it?

IMO, 180 out of 1000 is not alot. I'd say go for the second option for upgradability.

definatley the 939.

 

[karnick]

correct me if im wrong but would the first setup with a 6800 or 6800GT be close to the price of the second setup?

 

[pjwinkler]

Yeh you guys thats what i was thinking too.. (and can't forget nForce 4 )

and karnick, if i went for a 6800 GT on the first one it would be over the price of the second.. and i would still go for the seond and way for upgradability... and a 6800 would just up my price pointlessly
