after pricing some stuff up this is what i went with
brand new amd fx 8320 135$'s
the mobo was supposed to be a asrock 880gmh
http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/880GMHU3S3/?cat=CPU
but i accidently ordered an asrock 880gm 42$'s
http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/880GM-LE%20FX/?cat=CPU
the 8320 isnt officially supported by this board but apprently it works with this board ill know for sure when it arrives on tuesday
in the event it doesnt work im going to buy an http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/980DE3U3S3/ for 62$'s or i may spend a lil more and go for a mobo with multiple pcie x16 slots
corsair liquid cpu cooler new ebay 39$'s
antec 750w psu 109$'s
the rest of the parts were basically free since i had them laying around
i.e atx case, drives, burners etc and already have 6gb of ram
the plan is to fill the pci slots with 2 zotac gt430 i already have and stick a ati hd 7790 in the pcie slot , i still need to purchase an hd 7790
the mobo i ordered also has hd4250 onboard so i may be able to get that crunching as well
the fx8320 will be pushed to just over 4.0ghz
should be a nice upgrade over my amd a8-3800 pc or my other p4 2.8ghz machines
if i end up not using the first mobo i ordered i will prolly buy an fx 8120 and build a second cruncher out of it
if u guys have any suggestions on different mobo's incase the first one comes in and my cpu wont work with it or videocards im all ears ,
the reason i chose those asrock boards are because they had ide controllers which cut back on my cost for optical drives
