Heya.. what's the best CPU/MOBO/Video card combo for ~$700?

dunno about mobos but i'd go an E6600 dual core and overclock that s***. also don't get gigabyte for the vid card they're usually overpriced aren't they?

also random question strex do you buy your tracks as wavs or mp3s. also will any random mp3-wav converter be sweet for converting wavs to 320kb mp3s for playing out or should i get a half decent one?

Yeah good luck getting hold of a brand-name 8800GT at a reasonable price.

Most places are completely out of stock.

haha billy.. i would have released my latest mix tonight if i didnt have a TF2 war :D

taggs i buy all my stuff in 320kb mp3s.. cos i find the clarity good for club play, and i re-encode my online mixes to 198kbps anyway.

any random mp3-wav converter should be fine. i guess it would only come down to the type of codec being used to encode..

back on topic, what do you guys think about the brand BFG? i found a place that has a BFG 8800GT for $370

8800GT - $370
E6750 - $228
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R - $169

Total of $767, just over but not worth going with less.

BFG are a very good brand by the way.
