Looks good to me, but check to make sure you can get all of your drivers for Windows x64.

Which kind?

Invest in the 7900GT instead.

I saw that new card, havent really read about it, but its cheaper = worse?

Also, I made a mistake on my copy and paste, its a FX 60 im getting

Get rid of the Raptor drive, they arent worth the extra price. Then upgrade to a 7900GTX.

CmoAMD · 04-21-2006, 12:10 PM

How can the 7900gtx be cheaper but better? I also see some are 512, should I get that one?

I agree. The 7900GT is slightly better than the 7800GTX, and alot cheaper.

If you want a better card, then get the 7900GTX.

Agreed, i would buy a SATAII 16MB Cache drive instead.

If you really want RAID then get 2x 250GB SATAII 16MB Cache. But if you really think the Raptor is worth it then get one raptor and one sata.

People were complaining the they couldn't play Oblivion max settings, it lagged the 7900gt card...

Well, I can.. See specs. (In sig)
