That power supply will fail upon testing...

Get a Q6600 G0 from ClubIT...

And a 8800GT... or else that CPU is crap...

And that memory fan is crap also...

And onboard can be used...

And $30 memory doesn't sound good to me...

And there's no case...

And a P35-DS3L...

I'd suggest a whole redo... budget?
 
under 700$

im not crazy about 64bit, because of in conpatebility, but whatever

How much more would a 512 directx 10 card cost? BTW thanks for the help!
 
No problem ;)

512MB is not needed. Look at the 8800GTX or 8800 Ultra..

512MB cannot be used... if you ever find a 8600GT with 512MB, it won't be better than a 8600GT with 256MB. If the 8800GTS can only utilizte 320MB and still have great performance, I doubt a 8800 320 or any higher card will need more than 512 or so... (not counting the ultra/GTX)

Well, thanks, this should be all i need.


Just for the sake of estimation, how good is this system? How would crysis run?
