i think you should get the s3 @ 105
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128017
and go with a dx9 card.

i like that case tho, since it has room for 3 additional fans.

at 105 it still will only drop the total 10 bucks, oh and what would be a good dx9 card that would still play games like coh and bf2 on high?? if that mobo and a dx9 card can bring it under 400 i think it would be good

just do a lot of work and do a lot of chores to save up a little more IMO

 

[ezefosure]

oh. u said 128. i thought it was gonna drop 20 bux. nvm
still, i'm pretty sure an 7600gt (overclocked or not) could play coh, bf2, etc on high. not MAXED, but high

 

[joeswm8]

or you can just go a rev.1.3 @99 bucks on newegg

use that to try to get the most bang for your buck for the gpu. look at the different options for different games. and remember that you wer elooking at GT cards.

 

[lhstud10]

hey i selected both of these cards and they are both sub 100 dollars, anything over 30 fps on max wont lag right?

there are also different resolutions on that chart, in case you didnt notice. but if 1024*768 is good for you, then that's good

oh yea, you're planning on practicing overclocking with that cpu, right?

yes 1024 x 768 is my resolution. well i hate to waste all of the time we spent with this build but if my dad lets me get a summer job then i will build a better set-up and i will oc it... so it depends, but if my dad wont let me than i will get this setup but wont be ocing..

 

[ezefosure]

its cool if you dont get this build. no time wasted really . but yea, if you could get more money you could def get a much better pc. tell us how that summer job goes.

 

[lhstud10]

yea i was thinking target.

 

[ezefosure]

sounds good. but if you're really into computers/video games, and were going to make a new build anyway, somewhere like best buy would be pretty cool. that's where i want to work during college, or a local comp store.
