SO, I've arbitrarily/semi-contentiously put together the following components for a semi-budget gaming rig:
CPU/Mobo- Bundled E8400 & ASUS-P5Q Pro (Phat dealzzzzz!) http://ncix.com/products/?sku=35037&...Bundle%20Deals GPU- EVGA E-GEFORCE GTX 260 Core 216 http://ncix.com/products/?sku=35503&...A&promoid=1025 PSU- OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W (600W enough w/ no OC'ing?) http://ncix.com/products/?sku=33041&...Z%20Technology RAM- G.SKILL F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ PC2-8000 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-1000 CL5-5-5-15 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit http://ncix.com/products/index.php?s...l&promoid=1025 Have case, but can I use the stock heat sink/fan assuming I don't OC? Pretty sure these are all compatible but I could be wrong. Alternative suggestions are appreciated (alot!) Thanks in advance! |

on ncix i found a better deal. its amd though. its this processor with the asus mobo down below. its actually cheaper then the intel by a little bit. for a budget build amd is killing intel. theres ddr3 ram thats about 15 bucks more but overall i think this setup would be better than the intel one. i would recommend getting a 4870 if you get the amd

I would seriously consider a AMD system with a ATI card as they do seem to perform as well if not better than Navidia counterpart. I have tried several of the Navidia cards and have not been the least bit impressed with em, but that's my opinion. I just find ATI have a higher clock rate than the comparable Navidia card.
