I have gone for a AMD Phenom X2 Black Edtion 3.2Ghz with a Asus M4N75TD motherboard.
Both of these were purchased from Customoid.
After asking for there advice on the motherboard front.I have found them to be one of the best retailers out there.
They don't try to sell you a more expensive item they really help with what you want. I ordered one day and got the goods at 11.30am the next day! Amazing. Not only are they quick on delivery but they also have a price match policy which is really good if you have found what you want just let Customoid know where its at they will if they can match the price and best of all get it to you the next day.http://customoid.co.uk/
Any the reason i went the AMD Black Edition was purley through choice yeah i have read about triple,quad core ect ect. But i will never use all these cores and some software cant even use more than 2.
So that was it my mind was set on a dual core,But not only a dual Core it had to be the ultimate Dual Core The Black Edtion .
So then it was on to the Motherboard i have a sort of Blue theme in mind and was set on having a blue coloured motherboard. Dan at customoid asked what i would be using it for then he recommended this one.
I can run twin graphics card on this so its ideal as i want to have 3 monitors not only that but i want the pc/desk to be as quite as possible and some of the reviews of this board are quite good regarding the cooling of the chipsets.http://alatest.co.uk/reviews/processor-motherboard-reviews/asus-m4n75td/po3-104045149,53/
Will keep you posted on the "Gathering" later on
I will try and include why i have chosen the items
