if you get a wireless keyboard there could be lag time, you also may want to look into a better video card.

ckfordy · 10-26-2005, 06:56 PM

get a wired keyboard they work better than wireless and get a better videocard like a 6600GT or a 6800 GT

pbsk8er03 · 10-26-2005, 07:35 PM

Video card needs an update. 6800 GT atleast. PSU, go with the Anter neo power He. CPU wise, that prcoessor is only $155 on newegg.com right now.

Its gettin a bit dated now, not seriously dated but you can do better than that for not so much more $$$,

True. I suggest a X800XL. The video card I have now (look down) is the best on the market, but its a little outside your budget

Where did you hear that?? right now its 7800GTX is the best out now. The less powerfull 7800 GT matches the X1800XT if not better. look here http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200...x1800xl/1.html

As for wat you should get gilbertarenas is like wat the others said above a 6600GT or the 6800GT.

I would recommend you upgrade your gfx card to an x800pro because it is much better priced than the 6800GT and performs pretty much equal with it. It also overclocks more than any other card I've experienced. The x800xl is initially better than the x800pro but it doesn't OC as high and is more expensive. If you really want an nVidia card, go with the 6800GT but it is more expensive.

The 3200+ is a great CPU and overclocks very good. If you want a little cheaper, the 3000+ plus is good and there is only a 200Mhz difference between the 3000 and 3200 but the performance difference can be noticeable when encoding...

Corsair XMS is very good and pretty fast RAM. You should really only get high priced RAM if you overclock. Value RAM can support a non-OCd machine quite well.

Dude, those benches compared the 7800GT with the X1800XL!! Not XT. If you were to actually look at benches between the 7800GTX and the x1800XT you would see that the performance between the two is nearly equal. The 7800GTX and 1800XT have their strong points and weak points on different games. here are some benches http://computerforum.com/showthread.php?t=23983
