New Rig Ideas

[LostInSpace278]

Here's what I am thinking right now:

Athlon 64 3200+
1 gig Mushkin "222"
Gigabyte 8NNXP

Due to the compatabilty problems with most new mobos, I checked Mushkins site from another thread. These 2 are compatable.
All I am really wanting is a top of the line gaming machine. I want it to be rock solid, thats why I chose these components.

Should I wait until the nForce3 250 chips come out and buy this set up, or try and find reviews for the 250 compatabilty?

Im waiting for the next batch of NF3 boards to come out before I go AMD64...plus, I need to find a house in the next 21 days to store my life...and me,, :yikes:

I have also decided to wait for the next batch to be released. I have already read a review on the chipset and looks very promising. Hopefully no memory compatability problems. I will be :fire: if I buy a gig of mushkin, and it doesn't work.

i agree, i would wait for the new NF3 250 boards for sure, otherwise i would say go for it, except i'd get a shuttle AN50R motherboard.

Is it rock solid as well? I'm not really looking to OC for quit a while just want a blazing computer, that is stable. I will eventually OC when it gets a little dated.

Well I did wait for the reviews to come and I decided to go with a Gigabyte GA-K8VNX. I read the reviews and it seems like the NF3 chips only put it on par with the via boards already on the market. Maybe the 1000 fsb could make a difference in OCing but it didn't as far as benchmarks were concerned.

Well that sucks David, let me guess you bought one to many computer parts and she said it was her of them :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Jk of course :wave:
