If you dont buy the audigy sound card (your motherboards integrated sound is sufficient for most tasks), and get a 4200+, this X1900XT should fit in. If you have some extra money, consider changing the motherboard to an ASUS A8R-MVP.

With that...

This is what it comes out to...

Looks good, feel free to change the case to whatever you want. What happened to your original budget of $1500? I guess once you subtract the monitor and 30 MIR it comes $1500.

Jet · 04-18-2006, 02:30 AM

flush01, you really aren't being very nice in your manner of approaching things. Acting stuck up really tends to make people not like you. Basically you've just kicked out the rest of the people on this forum and have used flattery to make Spi1lz think that your ideas are right.

I tend to agree with 34erd, the 512 extra cache isn't worth it. Go with the 1900XT is the deal right now in that price/performance bracket. Of course, if you are looking to save the extra cash and absolutely can't get the X1900XT, than the 7900GT isn't too bad, though in a year it won't perform as well as the X1900XT

Heh...

Wanted it to be 1500, but all hell broke loose and it didn't end up being that way...

Rah...

Like Jet said, if you need to save some money the 7900GT is fine.

if you are nervous about not knowing how to build read this and also the motherboard manual will have picture by picture instructions... and you can't mess anything up by forcing stuff because everything only goes in one way...

if you want a WAY better machine for the money then get these parts and assemble them:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.2GHz w/ 1GHz HT Socket 939 Dual Core Processor - $458
Motherboard: ASUS A8N5X ATX AMD Motherboard - $75
RAM: G.SKILL Extreme Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR500 - $160
Video Card: SAPPHIRE Radeon X1800XT 512MB - $320
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS - $75
Harddrive: Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - $90
Optical Drive: NEC 16X DVD±R DVD Burner Black - $38
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home With SP2 - $90
Case:ASPIRE X-CRUISE -BK Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window (Comes with fans) - $54
Power Supply: Rosewill RP550-2 550W Power Supply - $50
Keyboard & Mouse: Logitech Internet Pro Desktop Black Wired Keyboard - $18

$1458

(the Ram is DDR500 but it will underclock to DDR400 to work with the mobo...)

so that computer would be a major beast feast compared to the other one you were thinking of buying

IMO that would be good

Spi1lz · 04-18-2006, 02:40 AM

I have an XP cd... Won't need to buy it again...

Spi1lz · 04-18-2006, 02:42 AM

That is pretty much what I have... With the change in video card and ram... (i think)

Plus the LCD monitor...

Gets me to where I am... around 1700

i wasnt acting stuck up, 34erd was sticking it to me with his "oh first of all use edit botton" ... like who cares if i posted twice you know what i mean ?

and the guy is on budget, he simply doesnt need that $500 card (all he wants for now is to play doom 3 on high, which $150 card will do).... but whatever, i suggested and it's for him to decide...
