New comp time

FutureProof · 02-21-2008, 09:57 PM

Well I've waited and waited for these new prodcuts to come out so theres some kind of price drop before I got a new computer. Ive been wanting to build one for a while now, except I dont really know what to look for in easch part. I have 600-800 to spend on parts excluding cd drives, and a hard drive. I want to go intel since I feel that they are just better

. I need a computer that will run games for the next 3-4 years. I also want dual core, and perhaps the new 9600 card released today? Well, I hope you guys can streer me in the right direction of what I should buy. Thanks for the help.

I'd stick with the GTS G92.

Do you need a monitor? Keyboard? Mouse? OS? Speakers?

Where do you live? (country).

I live in the US, and ive got all the accessories for the computer from the computer im using now. The GTS G92 is about $60 more, is it really worth the difference in performance?

My 8800 GTS benchmarks about 5000 points higher than the 9600 on 3d mark 06. dont waste your time with that card.
