you should better take a P5P800 (not "S") and a cheap P4 2.4-2.66

[i found nemo]

okay, downgraded cpu, upgraded mobo, only 15 bux more :) (+ converter for psu) thanx for ur advice supertimor

[Supertim0r]

a P4 505 (2.66ghz) prescott is more expensive :stick:
:p:

the cpu's i've selected are celly d's duno what ur talkin' about

[Kamerat]

The Celeron D got really bad performance and high heat output, tried one I borrowed from a friend, also a 330. You can get around 3,6-3,8 GHz with stock cooler, but performance still sucks. Why not recommand him a Sempron setup?

[i found nemo]

hmmmm i dunno was thinkin' about it...i've changed my mind 10 times with his setup lol celly d's can't be THAT bad, they are still better than celly's....right lol?

The hot, still cold pentium cpus today are the pentium-m Dothan and Sonomas, you really should browse around on the forum and look at its overclocking capabilities ;) I wouldnt have bought anything else than a pentium-m for overclocking today. It's a bit more expensive than a pentium 4, but yet its performance in games/web browsing with firefox at 2.0GHz is equal to a pentium 4 EE. Thats my advice:)

i know these things you speak of jaks and my friends limit is about 400$ so...you know

[Kjaks]

Ah, I see. Then I agree with Kamerat; a sempron would be a better choise than the Pentium D, if it fits your friends budget that is :) Especially if its going to be a low-end gaming rig.

Pick up this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131484R)

and buy my 730 from me for $140 shipped, its a pull from a dell 9300

and pick up the adaptor for $50

total $246 which is a small $50 difference, and you should be able to get by with a smaller PSU (do you have a fry's close by at all they usually have really cheap antec cases with psu).

[i found nemo]

damn i'm suggesting this all to him and he's illiterate about computers. so it's all on me...omg a pentium m .....man if i could talk him into this he'd be set....and have a better pc than mine...i just won't tell him ....no fry's over here. though i could search around

[socrilles]

also check outpost.com on friday for specials, or just check fatwallet.com/forums --->hot deals and watch for the parts you need you will get the best prices that way.

[i found nemo]

he's leaning more toward a sempron 3100+....with a total of 436.00 ...which ain't bad..plus we'll o/c it to about 23-2400 mhz...i think i'll stick with what he says ...lol but if i build a pc for myself agian i'll definately rememer the pentium m
