Building my first gaming pc!

**Praetor** · 11-19-2005, 04:16 PM

I would consider a switch to the AMD Athlon64 X2 [ADA3800DAA5BV, $320]

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Mobo: DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D ATX
GPU: eVGA GeForce 7800GT 256mb
RAM: Patriot Signature Series 2x512mb DDR

inexpensive and will work great with your set up...

P.s your set up looking good so far..
Btw what games do you plan on playing on this??

i was hoping to play BF2, CS, umm. HL2, and probably AOE3, i think it should be able to run all those games pretty fast.

NICE same games that I play

....
anyways...bf2 will take up most of the "power" to run
because I tried running it on my 2 year old pc *no luck*
the game requires 6 series video card.
but if you get all of the stuff you mentioned there you will definatly love your set up and will also be able to play those games and more with out a problem..

Awesome, we'll have to play together when i get it, lol.
Thanks for all the help. BTW that's a very nice PSU, and i'm definately adding that to the list.
