December 13, 200717 yr drop video card down, get higher CPU or just get higher CPU the rest should do fine, its nothing amazing, but it'll do it you just wanna surf the web and maybe play flash games
December 13, 200717 yr not sure about the ram, never head of it Glad you're choosing AMD CPU, but you should get something higher, maybe duelcore
December 13, 200717 yr Right now since DX10 games = maybe 3 then theres really no need for an 8800. Unless you just want to keep up with the "new" games that are sure to be coming out within the next 3 years. Off the top of my head the only games made Dx10 capable are UT3, Crysis, and Cod4. But im not even sure if Cod4 is DX10 capable. Plus there are rumors that a NEW series (8900) is coming out. Before you blow 300+ on an 8800 you might want to check out the compatibility it has with ALL games new and old. But like Jedi said, maybe take away from the VGA and go with a better Processor. Video Cards are being built and outdated every month so go with a 7900 or 7950 and that will last another 6 months to a year and put the extra cash towards a better CPU. Just to show you what i mean, my specs: Amd 5600 2.8 ghz AM2 skt Gigabyte M55sli-s4(rev 2.0) 2 gb Ocz reaper DDr2 800 XFX 7900GT Vista Ultimate And i can run ANY game! I can run FEAR on MAX everything with around 50-60 FPS. I ran the Crysis Demo on Medium and FPS more than 60. I play TF2 and UT2k4 all the time with FPS well over 70. With UT2004 i get over 100. UT3 im sure at high settings is over 50. So you dont need an 8800 atm. Unless you just really WANT one. Having an 8800 now is like having a Blue ray or HD DVD player. Theres no need because nothing has been produced for any of them. So unless you're willing to wait, i would buy a lower end card and go towards a better CPU. I know nothing about PSU's so you might want to look into that if you're goinh to upgrade heavily soon.
December 13, 200717 yr Author De3emon, its called the holidays. When you turn 18 and your parents no longer press the beliefs of jehovah on you you will learn what its like to be a baller, a shot caller 18" rims on yo 94 caprice.
December 13, 200717 yr Oh and also, if you CAN wait, subscribe to newegg and tigerdirect etc... They have great deals sometimes. Newegg had a 550w (maybe 500w) free after a mail in rebate. So if you can wait and see what deals are coming closer to Christmas, that is if you're in the US. EDIT: And you might want to look into a FULL tower case. Its a little bigger but it has more room for wires, and it helps the airflow. Also have you thought about the cooling? The one you picked only has 2, 1 80 and 1 120. Mine has 5 120's and i still wish i had a water cooling system. With what you have picked out you need more cooling just to keep it stable.

I'm 18 and my parents just ordered my new computer for me on the 9th. I was one who made one of the new computer threads. And why the fuck would I want "a shot caller 18" rims" on a shitty old piece of shit car? My Civic works just fine...

December 13, 200717 yr Intel -> Amd tbh.... amd dual cores suck cock Very true but AMD still has a better price:performance ratio if you buy the right card. (Banfelt isn't buying one of those cars by the way)
December 14, 200717 yr Author de3emon, why dont you link to a card. Also i changed some of the shit, diff cpu diff vga
December 14, 200717 yr Banfelt;532240']Also i changed some of the shit' date=' diff cpu diff vga[/quote'] I like that better. I personally prefer other brands than XFX, because the first 7900 i got from them basically fell apart, but after i got a new one from Newegg its been great. I have put it to the test with multiple games and it works great. So now im in between on XFX. The CPU seems awesome. I cant remember what you had before but you cant go wrong with a 3.2 AMD. Just be sure to pick out a really good Heatsink so you can overclock if you do that. Even if you dont OC, dont use the stock Sinks because they're usually shit. If you have a Dremel tool i would cut a couple holes in that clear side of the case and add a couple 120mm fans. My case has 2 120mm and 1 80mm and it still gets a little hot sometimes. But its seems like an almost High-End system, so good luck on the build. If you havent built a PC before then you should really read up on how to do it. Not that its hard, but there are some little details that you should'nt ignore. Good Luck!
December 14, 200717 yr buddy likes to blow a grand on shitty parts. get a 20$ case, 200$ radeon 3850 512mb, the 40$ corsair 2 gb ram and amd 4600+ for 100 bucks and a 90$ gigabyte p35 mobo, 90$ 500 gb hd
December 14, 200717 yr get an e6750 (core 2 duo), 8800gt 512MB, 2 gigs of ram, cheapo mobo, and a corsair vx550 psu

Corsair is a good brand but Value select ram isnt all that great, even tho the cost of it is super low. What you listed is going to last maybe 6 months at the most before he would have to do a complete upgrade which would cost even more money than he's already spending. get an e6750 (core 2 duo), 8800gt 512MB, 2 gigs of ram, cheapo mobo, and a corsair vx550 psu Like i said, really no need for an 8800 right now. Only a few games are capable of actually using all its power. Unless he does photoshop or video editing to a very high degree not much use for it. And a "cheapo" motherboard is a bad idea. Most cheap MB's have no overclocking at all, plus they're jsut badly built because they're so cheap. Like bad placement of connectors or just shitty parts. Plus its just my opinion but Corsair is known for their Ram, nothing else. Buying brand names that are producing other parts other than what they're known just ends up a mistake. Its the same as buying an Asus VGA. Asus is a great MB brand but i wouldn't buy any other kind of product from them.
