WTF!? is 700W or 720W needed for when he is not SLI'ing? A Corsair 520W for $99 will do great...

And the OCZ GameXStream 700W with 70A+ for $109.99 is even better

I am thinking of just upgrading my Ram, overclocking my CPU and maybe my GPU.

I want to be able to max out BF2/BF2142 and other DX9 games, and maybe Crysis, with the DX9 setting.

Thanks.

g4m3rof1337 · 12-03-2007, 10:26 PM

Anyone?

I may be wrong, but with your current system you are already good for at least a year if all you play is DX9 games... The only thing which could and should be improve IMHO is the RAM, but besides that I don't understand why you wanted a quad core.

So, I figure it would be best for you stick to what you have, maybe add a gig or 2(if you want to reuse it in a future build, but then again it might not be adviseable... still unsure of what I'd do in your case tho)... Then of course you can get yourself a nice monitor a 22 or a 24 inches which you will definitively keep for your next system.

But one thing is sure, by then you'd actually give it a bit of time for some considerably more powerful CPU to come out, for some GFX that will be significantly better than yours.

Actually that powersupply maxes out at about 57 amps on the combined 12v rails. It can put 18 amps on each rail, but not all at maxed and combined.

Alright.
I've figured it out.

I am going to buy a C2Q, 8800GT, 2gb+ Ram, and a new PSU.

My motherboard supports C2Q.

hpi · 12-06-2007, 10:52 PM

sounds good.

g4m3rof1337 · 12-06-2007, 11:14 PM

Yeah.

I figure that will keep me good for awhile.

I thought about getting a C2Q with an SLI motherboard, then getting two 8800GT's, but I'll make that a later upgrade.

With what I am getting, will it max all games out? Like Crysis? And future ones.

Thanks.
