I need to get a new PC on a budget and have been looking at AMD Phenom & AMD Llana (FM1 socket).
My budget for motherboard & processor is approx £250.
I want to make it future proof by having 4 slots DDR3, USB 3.0 & SATA 3.
Also, I want to be able to connect a 32" led tv along with my existing 19" monitor, Live will be on my 32" & NI Maschine + plugins will be on the 19".
I will be using ddr3 2 x 4gb (as high speed as poss depending on motherboard) expandable to 16gb or 32gb in the future.
Not too fussed about graphics just so long as it can handle music production & multi display.
PS, I know intel is supposed to better but I cant afford their prices & and I have never had a problem with AMD anyway.
My current system is windows 7 64 bit on athlon x 2 64 4200+ 2.21ghz, 4x 2gb ddr2 not sure what speed but this is irrelevent because I am going up to ddr3 on a new mobo.
So my main concern is best AMD mobo & processor for £250.
Much appreciated if someone can shed some light on the differences please?
Thanks,
Ronnie
