this all comes out to around 960-1100 guessing

[sn0wrider]

yes.. very good except that 9800 pro, its ment for web designing and hosting, not for gaming, the 5200 128mb is the best for gaming or the 5700, u will get 150-200fps with either card.

[K2Snow]

9800 Pro is listed under ATI's gaming cards. http://www.ati.com/products/radeon9800/radeon9800pro/index.html

I have a VERY similar setup but am yet to run any intensive games on it. Gonna try to run Doom 3 on it within the next day or so. The 2 channel RAM is good and 1GB is definitely gonna help out a lot with a lot of the newer games coming out. 512 is the absolute minimum.

[Greg Z]

i think im gonna go wtih 1 GB of ram

my mobo can hold up to 4gigs:devil:

but damn im spending so much money on it !!!

wish i could spend a little less :(

[Greg Z]

I have made some changes to what Im going to buy. I went with a much cooler cheaper Case

wtf? :huh

[Rastus]

LoL.., the comment about the 9800 Pro made me laugh for alittle bit.


For sure.., the 9800 Pro is a good card. I'd definately recommend it. ( I have a 9800 Pro, and a 9700 Pro.)

Nice choice on the Hard Drive.., those are nice too.


BTW.., I would advise you not to get cheap RAM. With RAM.., you get what you pay for. This same concept goes for the power supply also.

[I-7]

Everything looks great, if it were me, I would get a amd processor, they are cheaper and IMO better but it looks good!!
