It is a powerful system. Is there a reason why you're not going with an Antec True Power 500+watts?

Ku-sama · 12-19-2005, 01:44 AM

looks alright, but you need and Operating System

looks like a good build but i would go with 1 gb 2x512mb sticks and a 7800 gtx. but otherwise everything else looks good.

1 gb really is not enough now, especially in BF2, 2 gb ram is good

where did you get a free floppy drive?

Edit: ram=speed, speed=good. RAM is a big factor in how fast your computer can go. The more ram you have the more your computer can load into the ram

A lot of my buddys say that BF2 loads way faster when they added 1gb ram making a total of 2gb
