I'll check and see if I can find something better video wise. To be |
| 24 |
honest tho, I don't play video except for youtube or something like |
| 25 |
that. By BIG game to play is Kpatience. |

I must admit, I am seriously leaning to the Gigabyte build. It is a bit |
| 28 |
newer but not to pricey. I have read that DDR3 is faster and we all |
| 29 |
know that you only need one bottle neck. |

I do assume that the Gigabyte mobo, CPU and ram do match up OK? That is |
| 32 |
the big thing for me. I used to read Computer Shopper and keep up with |
| 33 |
the sockets types and such but I haven't done that in a long while. I |
| 34 |
don't want to order all this and then find out the CPU doesn't fit the |
| 35 |
mobo or that I can't put that ram in because of the HUGE heatsink. I |
| 36 |
guess newegg would let me swap something within reason tho. |
