is it really worth it?

hey all,

as you all know i got a opty 170 comign n stuff, well i dont have a mobo or nothing and im wondering is there really any point in buying a mobo, psu, case, cpu cooler, hard drives? i mean SKT 939 is dead now, i cant even find a asus a8n32 board or anything, ok i got an offer from xms but i really want sli i never had it,

any way is thre much point? i mena i could sell the ram, 2 x 7800gtx and opty that does at least 2.9ghz for say £300 - 400 or am i being tooooo.... whats teh word, greedy? i could get that save it then possibly get a C2D rig, i been of the computing scene since last summer and tbh i lost track i mean since when was there quad core CPUS ???? i just lost track and im learning again slowly, ok so i get teh fact C2D's are the new A64 with games and they are pwnage with overclocking but why?

guys im really stuck and i need some help and a slap back to current hardware help me!!!!

939 is still one of the best sockets ever. And just to put it in perspective i just spent £310 on a c2d, mobo, ram and PSU. And the ram and PSU were 1/2 retail price.

Here you go. One mobo, couple it with a Hiper 500-700w PSU and an 80GB drive and youll be fine.

one mobo where?

do they accept paypal?

'Here' is a link... Hence the underlining

Im not too sure, post it up in the ST forums on here and ask.

nope they dont accept papal :'( if i was to get the opty up n running even with one GTX reakon the system would hang out for a while?

Why not paypal the money to a mate who can then use their card to buy it?

And yea that system would still last you quite some time

Well and it should last you a fair year. 939 is still a strong socket, epesialy at 2.9ghz.

939 all the way!

As said already 939 is still one hell of a awesome socket!

If you ask me it would be worth it!

939 For the win!

Personally I'm waiting for AMD to release the new REAL quad-core CPUs and blast Intel out of the park... and then I won't buy one 'cos I still won't be able to afford it. I'll probably jump to AM2 with a FX-62 which can still pwn all these Intel Dual core attempts, tried and tested.
