October 19, 200519 yr Get two of the 6600's 512mb version or the Quad GPU versions. Get a DVD- Writer instead of just a plain CD -RW
October 19, 200519 yr its good for a "fix-er-upper" nothing i would choose. drop the sound card and you can upgrade the mobo or gfx card. edit. i took another look and drop that shit-case and get a better one with(out) a 500W
October 20, 200519 yr - Yeah, that Graphics Card is crap - Change that. - Otherwise that package looks good.
October 20, 200519 yr video card reviews: Let me say this' date=' this card is seriously underpriced. This is about what I paid for my old Geforce FX 5200 about 2 years ago, and this thing by far stomps the 5200[/quote'] Wow... people are stupid...
October 20, 200519 yr Seems pretty good to me. 6600gt is what I have, and it's good for the price. I got mine for $130 shipped from ClubIT.com, but they don't have that deal any more. Just keep looking around for lower prices.
