Graphics card?

You could do better on the power supply. Get this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341002

And you could get a quad core phenom for 20$ more, which would be better in most situations:

Or he could get a Core 2 Duo/Quad which perform better. The phenoms aren't that great just yet.

But he wants AMD. And a phenom for 200$ is a better deal than a Q6600 for 279.

The_Beast · 12-22-2007, 10:51 PM

I'd go with a C2D

**oscaryu1** · 12-23-2007, 02:18 AM

As for the rating (out of a hundred)...

50/100. You could do way better with Intel and $850.

repo485 · 12-23-2007, 09:28 AM

then do you have any suggestions for under $1000?

**oscaryu1** · 12-23-2007, 02:35 PM

Sure! I'll get started! (You live in the US correct?)
