budget is about 800-700 i have a amd but i was thinking about intel? but i hear it is expensive

[TriniXaeno]

which AMD?

Cause sc2 runs on pretty weak hardware. It's not really graphic intensive.

This is what i am running now i hear it can be over clocked to 3.0? o.o is this true?

AMD Sempron 1.9Ghz LE-1100 MMX

why not consider just upgrading the cpu, i see is an AM2 so if you could link us the model of the board you using maybe you could just upp the cpu, i could run sc2 on my lappy so a better processor should be a nice move up for you since you already have dedi gfx

like this for example

600TTD 2.7ghz getting to a nice cool 3.0ghz would be easy.

if you can you could prob up your gfx card a bit too

so which CPU u think i should get on my budget 700 - 800

[Nephilim]

that offer from OC is a real good deal, i've used that cpu before, runs nice and cool (sum like <30 in a room of 25 @ idle stock hsf) and it's nice and quick once you not expecting to run more than a 2-4 apps at a time i say go for that cpu and up your gfx card the overall exp will be better than just getting a big ole cpu and your gfx card can't take it...think tanner mayes and mandingo

[Saxito Pau]

I concur as well with OC's offer

[W1nTry]

LOL @ n00b attempt to run SC2 on a SINGLE CORE O_O...

[TG.Saga]

hmm that means i have to buy a board and a CPU now hmm might have to wait till next forthnight to buy the other one  .... i kinda slow eh so doh laugh at me =) alright so so far i need to get that board from Hard and then buy a processor and maybe if i rob somebody buy a graphics card ? lol

[W1nTry]

I have an e8400 sitting down somewhere I believe...

Ok i understand that so if i wana build my own PC which i think i will have to do, what is a lesser board to buy because i will just take this board, buy the new cpu, put this cpu in the lesser board, take the 2gb ram from this pc for the new board, i have an old graphics card i can put in the lesser board and just get a monitor and a case and keyboard combo from super tech To simplify things i will like to build my personal pc and leave this one to the family, who dont really play any games and my bro who only plays GTA san andereas and warcraft 3 *not much graphic needed* while the gaming pc will be in my room if yall a bit confused tell me i just trying to get the best advice for my money and so far u guys real helping , sorry if i asking to much questions
