Hey there, I know that there's another thread about what pc to buy, but i want to buy something pretty powerful.
Well, what I intend to make is a HTPC, capable of running both dolphin and pcsx2, both at FULLSPEED, and my deadline for buying it is may 20, 2011. I know it's almost a year ahead, and the parts are pretty expensive, but here's my situation: I'm saving like 131 USD a month (That would be= 1.441USD in may 2011), and the parts here in chile are priced like in this example:
XMS3 DDR3 6Gb 1333Mhz PC3-10600 (3x2Gb) TR3X6G1333C9 = 276 USD
Western Digital HDD Sata2 1 Tb 7200 rpm = 124 USD
CPU Phenom II X4 955 Box (AM3) = 218 USD
Mobo AMD 790FX-GD70 A/L (AM3) = 249 USD

Well that's just for an example, any suggestions on what parts should i look for and what should accomplish my objectives? I'm not good at OC and prefer to avoid that option, i don't want to overheat something as expensive as that.
I just want to know about processor, mobo, video card, ram.
Thanks.
