Christmas build

Calibur · 12-07-2007, 03:12 AM

So i'm going to be building my first comp this Christmas time. I'm not well versed in computers, so I need some help. This is what i have so far:

CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115017

Mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2&Tpk=P31-DS3L

PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341010

Ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231114

Video card: I want the 8800 GT, but there are so many choices, i assume some don't work with what i have. Can someone link me a 8800Gt that will work with this build.

This comp is going to be used 100% for games. Any comments, revisions, or even a whole new build are welcomed. And please try not to stray from the prices of the linked items, my budget is limited.

No,no,no,no,no. Just the internal parts plus the case + cooling.

haha its going to be a stretch
lemme work on it

look (generally)
quadcore - 275
8800gt - 300
therefore you have 225 to spend on a psu, mobo, ram, media, shipping

I usually working the other way round

case: $50
PSU: $75
burner:$30
RAM: $50
HDD: $70
MB: $100

So, approx $500 for CPU + GPU
= Q6600 + 8800GT 256MB/HD3870 or E6750 + 8800GT 512MB
