Q: a good mother board that can support big games like spiderman 3 ..that is not so expensve anyone got idea? and a video card
A: The best budget motherboard at this time is an Intel P35 chipset based board. My brand preference is Gigabyte, so the board is: Gigabyte P35-DS3L This is an excellent board with good overclocking options compatible with all the latest Intel CPU's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059&Tpk=p35-ds3l Processor: Your choice of either Pentium Dual Core E2180 2ghz for $70 or Core 2 Duo E7200 wolfdale @ 2.53 ghz for $135. I recommend you get the Wolfdale, both will benefit hugely from overlocking (E2180 --> 3.0ghz, E7200 --> 3.8ghz +), but the E7200 comes with much higher stocks, lower power usage, more potential, and better performance at stock, so I suggest it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115052&Tpk=e7200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116052 Video card: depending on budget, if you can spend $100, get the HD 3850 it smashes the 8600GT many times over and will max almost every game. The 8600GT will play most new games at medium still though, so it's not bad for $50. You must get the GDDR3 8600GT http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102715 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130085 If you want to build an AMD platoform (probably slightly better if you don't overclock, I recommend these parts: MSI K9A2 790X (V2, aka they fixed it, finally), a good motherboard with upgrade options http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130172 CPU: Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition, reasonable for 2.6ghz, and I swear to god just go into your bios, change your multiplier from 13 to 15 and you got yourself a 3.0ghz dual core for $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103194&Tpk=5000%252b%2bX2%2bblack%2bedition Graphics cards: My link the 3850 still stands and I stand by it as the best option, but for a cheaper $50 card, I change it to the 2600XT. Basically, this card is similar to the 8600GT but a hair slower. Again, the GDDR3 (clocked 2x as fast as GDDR2) version is a must. The cool thing is, if one isn't enough, you can add a second in crossfire later on this board. The same is also true of the HD 3850's. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102700
