need a bit more info than that. what do you have now, whats your budget, and could you please fill in your specs in the control panel?

hey there - welcome - i agree, please fill in your specs...

also, what are your pref's - AMD or Intel??

lets just say the budeget is generous, at the moment i have an intel motherboard, pretty old the D865GBF, a radeon x800 pro ddr1 ram bout 1 gig, pentium 4 2.6 GHz, all of it i want a new. im just not sure what motherboard i want, and i prefer AMD

ok, so for AMD mobo, i suggest the GA-M59SLI-S5, it is SLi ready and capable...

for a cpu - > minimum - ADA4800CSBOX X2 4800+ Processor...

gpu - nvidia 7900GT or 7950GTX - or if you want to SLi, 2 x 7600GT XXX edition (budget friendly) or 2 x 7900GT's (not-so-budget friendly).

memory - 2 x 1GB Corsair DDR2 800mhz

psu - a minimum of 700W or alternatively, you can get a smaller psu but then get a dedicated gpu psu from thermaltake, http://www.thermaltake.com/product/P...0130/w0130.asp

case - that's entirely up to you...

hope this helps...

Cheers, anything thats top notch and has Pci express and is dx10 capable as a mobo, im just looking for taht at the mo

for sure, but the only prob with that is, you can't go and get a mobo if you don't have a cpu to go with it... and then ofcourse the pci-e gpu slot as well, and the ram (ddr2) too...
