Default Re: Whats the best desktop CPU for around $200
The person that wants this system found a used AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 CPU for $150, so I think we will build it around that.
Now what mainboard should we get for it?

He's also been looking at 19" LCD monitor around the $200 range. Anyone have some suggestions, I've kinda fallen behind on some of this stuff lately so I'm suggesting sumething with a low response time and a good contrast ratio. Am I aiming in the right direction?

I think overclocking will happen but nothing too severe Yawg. I'm thinking he's not going to spend alot on cooling but I'm aiming for a little higher end system ram to make overclocking atleast possible.
