Title: [WTB] Mobo + CPU + RAM combo - good enough for gaming... Post by: Damnsammit on August 19, 2013, 07:25:43 PM I have all of the other things necessary to build a gaming computer. Currently using some old stuff I had laying around... got a Core2Duo@1.8GHz with 2GB RAM and it is just not beastly enough for any serious gaming.
Unfortunately (for me) I got my wife and kiddo addicted to Final Fantasy this weekend, so I need to get upgraded soon. Been using http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ while browsing for new CPUs and it looks like mine is right around a score of 1000 on that site. Anything twice as fast or more would be ideal. My biggest thing is that my Mobo only supports 4GB RAM, so I definitely need to get another one to beef up my memory. Not wanting to spend a whole lot, and would like someone trust worthy who could ship quickly. PM or post here. Thanks! Edit: Still entertaining offers, but my dad might have all of the parts that I need! Title: Re: [WTB] Mobo + CPU + RAM combo - good enough for gaming...

ASUS M3N78-AM AM2+ Micro-ATX board takes up to DDR2-1066, this board is nothing fancy, a bare minimum board. 2 DDR2 slots, you will need 4 GB dense DIMMs for 8GB RAM. Phenom II X4 955 BE, should overclock to about 3.6 GHz okay on this board. ~1.33 BTC + shipping. RAM you could get from ebay, since your machine already runs 2 GB RAM you could keep it or add to it.

Post by: Damnsammit on August 19, 2013, 09:25:56 PM That CPU + Mobo seems much better than what I have now, but I would definitely need to upgrade the RAM.
Let me get back with you and see if I can snag up some DDR2 RAM that could fit in there. I think my brother has extra DDR3, so I was hoping to find a Mobo that I could throw that in there with... |
