I want to upgrade my pc to AMD and using ATI.?

Question

dear all genius out there, i'd like to upgrade my pc by change to AMD motherbroad and i plant to buy ATI cross-fire (3870x2/4850/4870), so pls tell me that what motherbroad i need to buy? what brand is the best for motherboard and graphic card?

Answer 1

asus the best mother board money can buy.its just all around the best!

i use the crosshair mobo if i were you i would go with the ASUS Crosshair II Formula it dosent use the outdated crossfire instead it uses the 3way sli from nvidia you can run three pci-e cards at once plus nvidia has better cards at the moment and cheaper.if you going with amd(my personal favorite)dont get there quad cores yeat there to slow for gaming at the moment get an x2 6400+ black.for about $170. dont go cheep on the mobo i spend the most on that when i do a build.getting the best will cost you more now but in the long run it will save you a ton because you'll be able to upgrade it for a much longer time and youll get better system stability if you already have the card and cant sell them off on ebay or something than youll nead to go with and older board like ASUS M2R32-MVP AM2 it has am2 and not the new am2+ so it might no work with the new quad cores from amd they did put out an update for some off there boards so the am2's would work for am2+ cpu but not sure if they did for this one.

Answer 2

OK, so i'd look to Asus for the motherboard, and stick with 790FX chipset, something like the ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe is awesome.

For the video card, look to HIS for a great brand, or ASUS or Diamond put out a decent card as well. I love the new 4850s, they only take 1 slot, and have dual VPUs.

If you dont want to go Asus for the motherboard, also look at Gigabyte, another company that uses all solid capacitors, and focuses on good power design. like i said, stick with the above mentioned chipset!

Answer 3

For motherboard the tops brands are ASUS, MSi and good brand that is also cheaper is Gigabyte.

In my opinion, prefer ASUS!

For graphic card, the best brand is Nvidia (of course), much more better than ATi. You can use Sli in Nvidia which is the same *** cross-fire at ATi. Best Nvidia manufacture right now is XFX. You can buy Nvidia 8800 XFX and then use Sli or 9800 (much more expensive) or either 9600 (which is very good)

Wish to help you my friend.. :)
