The X1900XT will produce noticable difference over the 7900GT, but if it doesnt fit in your budget the 7900GT is a great choice. Just if you can squeeze it in to your build, the X1900XT is a great card. 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...

(sorry, don't feel like deleting all the jibber jabber between the stuff)

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.

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...

so would you guys a agree with my original stuff?

Encore4More said:
heh, man if you want to get something WAY better than that... build it... professional builds are not better (in the case if you built it would tear the computer to shreds, if u get these parts and build)
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:

$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

he is saying get this processor instead
and then get this video card...

IMO that would be good

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...

hmm... $150 card will do for doom 3... so? every game gets old buddy...;)
whats gona happen when he wants a newer game? then he'll be f-ed up with his $150 card...
anyone that like gaming needs a $500... it is just a matter if they can afford it... im not bashing people that can't afford a $500 (i couldn't afford one!) but there is no such thing as having a video card that is to good if your a gamer... so a X850XT could play basically every game that is out now on full graphics... but will it play the games that come out in the next months on full graphics? prolly not... that is why there is no such thing as a card that is to good if you are a gamer... even if he is into Doom 3 at the time... he will want something l8er

get one of these depending on what your budget allows:

if you have no more than $400 left to spend... get this video card:
ATI Radeon X1800XT 512MB - $389 ($339 after mail-in rebate)

if you have no more than $450 left to spend get this video card:
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1900XT 512MB - $440

if you have no more than $500 to spend, get this video card:
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1900XTX 512MB - $489

if you are willing to spend extra to get the best gaming card availible:
eVGA Geforce 7900GTX 512MB - $540


and that dell is a somewhat decent machine, but it will have trouble gaming... and is terrible compared to what i configured for you...

Edit: after looking at the dell closely... it sucks compared to what i configured....

I am iffy about building my own comp... Heh...

The one I am on now was build by me and my friend... And is horrible...

Blew the stock power supply that came with the case right off the bat... Damn thing has trouble starting up... Takes forever... (literally like 5 mins minimum) Even after a fresh format, the damn thing still sucks... Not to mention it is slow... Really slow... It was fast when I got it, but that went downhill fast...

1. I think with your budget you could pull out an X1900XTX. Maybe

2. Yea as Encore said, that dell wont be very good for gaming. The GPU's that you can select are nice, but the Intel Dual Core will hold you back.

Well with the computer some of us have listed out for you, i dont think its gonna be too slow. The PSU's that come with cases are terrible. Thats your friends fault for not knowing that, he obviously didn't come to CF before building his comp.

you won't get that on this machine... your friend just picked some bad parts... it isn't that someone professional building it will make it better... he just picked bad parts... i beleive most ppl would back me up that the system i configured for you will serve you well...
