BIGGU Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 get something other than the cadaver green. the green is their eco series and it will be the slowest part of your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Don't buy AMD but that is my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Seriously, AMD is several years behind Intel in technology terms. Avoid AMD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize that AMD is crap now, right? They haven't been good in about 6 years. Prepare for overheating, crashing, and getting circles ran around your processor by slower Intel processors with better technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 My AMD build sucks. It won't install windows vista or windows 7. It locks up at the same place. I thought it was the hard drive so I replaced. Same problem. I thought it was the motherboard so I bought a eVGA one. Same problem. I thought it was the ram so I bought expensive Corsair ram. Same problem. I tried a cheap ass video card instead of my monster eVGA card. Same problem. Only thing I haven't replaced is my CPU which happens to be an AMD athlon x64 3.2ghz. This was my first and last AMD processor I will ever buy. Just trying to help out man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I used to be a fan of AMD, but Intel is really where it is at. You are building something that is a bit dated too. All the new stuff runs DDR3. Unless you are building something that needs to be small, you will likely be unhappy with a Micro ATX motherboard.

Mr. Jones Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 That is a great build. FOR ME TO POOP ON. Seriously, find an Intel combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been running a AMD Athlon 9850+ 2.5ghz quad core black edition since it came out and have not had a single problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except, well it was slower than balls and outdated when it debuted and is now a relic, but you're probably okay with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
