I have a Pc which i got 4 years ago, decided its time to upgrade. I have a GeForce GTS 450 graphics card and a kworld 7134se PcI tv card. Would like to keep these two so I would like a compatible motherboard.

Can i get some help on my options? I just want the motherboard, processor and RAM for now. I do alot of gaming and video editing. r5000 limit on these three. Oh and please include any essential accessories il need.

Thanks

Come on Rickster.. You're better than this! Take a quick peak at my PC spec... 4th Gen Intel and the exact same RAM

From the two options suggested, which would be the best to go for? The full bundle from Evetech or the separate components from Wootware? The prices are pretty much the same so just looking for best value and longer lasting.

The Wootware one is the best value. More RAM and a much better motherboard. CPUs are exactly the same. Evetech is just more expensive with their products, that's all. Both companies have very good service.

Yeah that is what I thought - have read good reviews regarding that motherboard.

So for R5k, that is probably the best value from wootware? Just for those three items?

Yup. That motherboard is the best value for money on a budget in RSA and I'm still looking for a motherboard to be better value (and I'm not talking about the B85 or H81). The RAM value is okay. You won't get 8GB 1600mhz RAM a lot cheaper anywhere else, that's just the price of RAM nowadays. The CPU isn't top of the class, but it is decent. For R5k IMO you won't find any better components.
