I’m in the market
I am in the market for a new computer, but with a twist.
You see, I am builiding my own and I already have:
- ATX Demon Case
- 400GB (200GB x 2) Maxtor 7200 RPM hard drives
- DVDRW (forgot the speeds:P)
- Nada
Obviously, what I need is a motherboard/cpu combo. I am looking for something powerfull, and reliable. I do game from time to time but more importantly I just need it to run at the best of it’s ability the majority of the tiime.
I tend to like AMD instead of INTEL, but I am open to suggestions.
Price range? Under $1000.
Make your suggestions in the comments. Thanks all!

More info is required to make an honest suggestion.
*your hard drives, SATA or ATA?
*your DVDRW, SATA or ATA?
