zbc1998 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Need some suggestions on best mobo for this processor and what would be best graphics card setup? Looking at getting OCZ 1gig x2 memory modules. Need suggestions on best mobo, graphics, and case(power supply) for the best ocing. I have $2000 grand to blow if needed but would love to get in at $1500 so I can get a really nice 19" monitor. Please make suggestions and keep them coming. Have 2 weeks before I start ordering Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenBoo Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I just ordered everything in my sig for around $1400. Personally I think it's the best that could be had for that price if you're willing to take some risk The board can be moddified to handle SLI so that's nice. You could jump up to a 7800GTX or add another 7800GT for SLI. I would also recommend a better case. This one is only $50 bucks but only has 2 120mm fans. Oh yeah, and I was planning on putting on a big typhoon. Both that and another 7800GT are gonna have to wait until tax rebate time : ) Anyone who wants to disagree with me go ahead ; ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReD.SkY Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 the system that i am planning in my sig is gunna cost under $1500, but with no OS (i have one) i am gonna pimp it out, so like 100-150 extra for my modding addiction so u can get a system in my sig for like 1350-1400, shop around. i like newegg, but they charge tax... monarchcomputer.com doesnt... they have a opteron 165 for only $275 i am getting the Lanparty ultra D for my system and ocz gold EL ram ocz powerstream 520w PSU eVGA 7800 GT GPU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bone450 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I couldn't find the opteron 165 for $275 at monarchcomputer.com or newegg. Did I miss it? Also most online stores only charge tax if they have a store in the state you are living/shipping to. Since you live in CA that is why you get taxed by newegg. Either way you are suppose to pay sales tax on it in your local state at the end of the year for online purchases, yeah sure wink wink.

When you go to monarch's web, go under the combo deal, it will allow you to select CPU and mobo, many had report that Opty 165 OEM with DFI ultra-D is like $271 + $125 + shipping. Totally awesome deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bone450 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Dang wish I would have run across this last week. Just bought one from atacom for $314. Oh well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReD.SkY Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 you have to go to pricegrabber to get the deal without the mobo... just search for opteron 165 in pricegrabber.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenBoo Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 you have to go to pricegrabber to get the deal without the mobo... just search for opteron 165 in pricegrabber.com Only did a quick look but didn't see it in pricegrabber. Wish I'd checked the combos at monarch though, I ordered both my mobo and processor from zzf and that would have saved me $30 after shipping. Not to mention my monarch order showed up yesterday, zzf should be here to day, and the egg tomorrow or the day after. Unfortunately the egg as my freaking ram so no playing until then.
