Re: Opinions Please - Fan Controller

hmm... how much are you willing to spend for the proc/motherboard combo? AMD has the budget segment (for the most part) while intel has the performance/high end segment (for the most part). of course there are exceptions in both cases, but that is the general rule for the time being

Re: Opinions Please - Fan Controller

its alot cheaper, but thats not by decision.

the motherboard: that one is very good, i have heard great things about the asus P5Q but thats your choice.

processor: the difference is 16 mhz. for $30, not worth it. get the E8400.

ram: OCZ has been poopy lately, get corsair.

os: there is that, there is also windows 7 up to you

Re: Opinions Please - Fan Controller

Thanks for the advice forcifer, appreciate your thoughts.

Ill have a look at the asus P5Q. Some of the stores here dont seem to like ASUS for some reason. Gigabyte seems to have a better rep here and they seem very plentiful... might be a Southern Hemisphere thing
I definitely go the Corsair. Im using them now and Ive never had any problems.

Re: Opinions Please - Fan Controller

for the most part, european overclockers and such really like asus more then gigabyte but thats mostly because of overclocking. still, either will work just fine :)

glad i could help. i have been out of tech help for a while, and i enjoy case mods the most so why not start where i know what im doing lol
