I'm looking for a good motherboard and RAM for this CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103633
The MB needs to support AGP so I can still use my 6800GT with it. I have really good components otherwise - Lian Li, Antec TruePower 550W, etc.
Oh and 1 gig RAM (dual chan 512s) should be enough right now.
Thanks

Well no I really want a quality board and RAM. Not just a bundle. I just have not built a machine in over a year so am out of it on who is the best bang for the buck right now. What do you guys think MSI, ASUS for the motherboard? I’m using MSI now. Also what RAM will add the most speed?
Edit:
Also what is the difference between these CPUs?

There is only a $1 difference in price.

Get a socket939 cpu with this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157081
Memory, just some kingston/corsair/geil/... value ram should be ok.
Yeah someone else told me about that board and I think I will get that and the 3500+ for it.
Thanks!

It should be a nice upgrade from my old Barton 3000+.

I actually ended up getting the 3800+ single (2.4GHz) will have it tomorrow. The 3800+ single is as fast as the 4600+ dual for almost all games. It’s faster than the 4600+ dual for games like FarCry and Doom 3, Oblivion is the only game that runs a little faster on the 4400+ other then that the 3800+ single basically = the 4600+ except for encoding and stuff like that. I can’t wait to load GT Legends on it! :)
