Re: Need help

There is quite a few questions that need to be added to your question.

A) Whats your budget.
B) Which CPU would you prefer.. Intel or AMD
C) The Motherboard also depends on what CPU you would want to use...
D) Graphics card ATI or Nvidia...Would you prefer a system that support PhysX (Nvidia).
E) Are you a Gamer and want a high end PC or one set for normal Internet/Office use...

If you gave some more info on what your uses & preferences are may help out other members here at HH to assist you...

Re: Need help

For premium motherboard models, Asus or Gigabyte. On more of a budget, ASRock or MSI.

The Sapphire X58 doesnt do SLI which could be limiting in the future when you look to upgrade.

Sapphire have a v impressive range of cards at the moment with very quiet coolers but give some thought to whether you want to try 3D gaming, if so then a GTX 580/570 could be the way to go (which also alllows you to do physx). Inno 3D have a nice 580 out, tripple fan etc which we recently reviewed.
