Looking to go next-gen or keep it s478? Do you want to go DDR2 and PCI-E, or are you looking to use memory, VC and other stuff from an existing rig?

Memory and video card will, be all new, although not the best. However for the foundation of the rig (chip, Mobo) I want the latest greatest within 500 Dollars US.

If you want latest and greatest, and future-proof, go LGA775!

IMO, I would go with the Abit mobo, and that cpu is what I would recommend. Scratch that. If I were you, I would wait another month or so when the 1066fsb cpus/mobos come out. Supposed to be out before x-mas.
Thanks everybody, that gives me a little to chew on. Hmmm.....
Thanks NoAffinity
Thanks NoAffinity

He should go with the DFI not the ABIT, if you notice the ABIT has no IDE slots only a slot for the floppy drive. The DFI mobo would be better because it has 1 IDE which gives it some backward compatability.

So that makes it "better"? The Abit is also about 50 bucks less which really helps since he has to get a new video card and memory as well.
