hello guys i have shifted my core 2 duo pc to office and now looking for machine for home

i have a budget of around 150-200$ and need these

processor
m.baord
ram
harddrive
casing with psu

i am looking for asus m.baords this time and also should i go for intel or amd

this pc will also be used for 3d work

any good suggestions??

no offense but your not going to get what you need on that kind of budget. A decent board, cpu will get the best of your budget alone.

liljim's right. $200 is just enough to get 1 component, 2 if you go for the cheaper stuff.

Since you say 3D work, I assume something along the lines of 3D Max or a 3D based CAD application.

Such software wants a good CPU and as much RAM as possible.
Worth looking into whether the program is multi-threaded. aka makes use of multi-core CPUs. I know 3D Max is...

If '3D work' is a subtle way of saying gaming then you'll need a good GPU ontop of that.

re: AMD or Intel.
Intel appear to win on price/performace... not a lot else to say.

Hope you find what you want
