The old thread has reached 80 pages, and has been filled with many builds that the very helpful members of MyFrag have all contributed too.
IMPORTANT
However a problem with people changing the limit on prices, asking people to put together build estimates without knowing the costs, and people generally not knowing what they are talking about has occurred. It is acknowledged that build prices do change due to everyday life, however the number of people that have been changing the price (from 3000 in some cases to 1000...) is getting out of hand. Therefore i have created this form:

Are they pre-made or do they just sell the parts? I'll be more than happy with the parts
when amd make these terms, the make that all the components that are in the certain family have the best combination

you can just go to them and say i want a dragon.

the term dragon is just the term to specify a combination of parts, that would best suit eachother for gaming.

it is not an actual product, but a combination of products that are recommended.

no idea..

not if you dont use it... just disable it and use a real card... or save money and buy the 790X chipset.

well there s another mobo with the 790X and its more expensive but it has 8+2 phase sumfin i dunno if its that?
sounds like the power phases for the cpu to provide the most accurate voltages for overclocking mostly. at a guess.
more phases, more stable at higher voltages = good for overclocking

it also makes your computer more efficient with the power.
hmm i can either get a motherboard without a gpu thats $10 more and has the 8+2 or i can get it with the onboard?
who cares about the 8+2 imo...
Hey ima sell some stuff to upgrade but do you think this is worth $270 to sell off, imean its only been used for half a year?
x3 Phenom II 720
GA-MA78GM-US2H
4GB Kit(2x2G) DDR2 1066 Kingston
Can anyone find a cheap Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4 Motherboard in NZ?
and a Inno3D GF 9800GT PCI-E 1GB
Actual NZ prices would help
