Hi superatomicproduction

I would advise delaying your purchases for a couple of weeks and do a little more research as it looks that for about $500 to $600 you can step up to AMD latest Motherboards and CPUs.

Would the latest Mobo and CPU be the same prices or close to it listed above?

[iammykyl]

Hi.

I jumped the gun there, before doing more research myself, the article gave me the impression Llano would be available on the desktop, but seems it is targeted for mobile. So Please disregard my reference to that article.

The Mobo you selected could be changed for an AM3+ socket which would enable you to upgrade the CPU at a later date. The CPU you selected will still be compatible.

Do u think it would be a night and day difference between these town boards?

Make sure your motherboard will fit accordingly to your case if you didn't already know.

[superatomicproduction]

Yup ATX compatible, thanks thou.

A couple things. I don't see an OS listed. You will need 64-bit Windows 7 or Linux alternative with 8Gb of RAM (my preferred amount with dual channel boards).

Also, note that AMD (and Intel too) CPUs that come in a retail package with an OEM supplied heatsink fan (HSF) assembly are sold as, and warrantied "a unit". AMD in particular is very clear about this in their AMD CPU Warranty where AMD states, (their bold),

This Limited Warranty shall be null and void if the AMD microprocessor which is the subject of this Limited Warranty is used with any heatsink/fan other than the one provided herewith.

yeah im getting windows 7 from a friend and yeah im getting 8 gb of ram.

yeah im getting windows 7 from a friend and yeah im getting 8 gb of ram.

As long as that license will installed on just your one computer, I'm okay with that.

[superatomicproduction]

of course. Now im just waiting for my parts to come in

Looks like a bit late.

Not at first glance, but if you compare them there is a big difference. The main advantage is being able to upgrade the CPU later without having to buy a new Motherboard. Here is your selected Mobo and one to compare with. There are a couple of cheaper ones but only support CPUs up to 95w which would limit your choice for future upgrade.

Consider changing the HDD, Bigger capacity, Cache, better performance.

If your budget is not to tight for the Video card.

A fair bit better performance.
