so do u think that Vista would be better or XP?

 

[JLV2k5]

Vista 64 for gaming. Supports more RAM, as well as DX10 cards.

Everything looks compatible above.

I would also go with Newegg.com, as well as one of the new 45nm CPUs like This E8400

 

[ryby2]

two more question. would the setup that i have work and play crysis well?

You are going to need a better GPU in order to play Crysis on high. Look at the 8800GT's.

 

[ryby2]

alright thank you for ur help

 

[ryby2]

actually 1 more thing if i SLI the GPU would that be good for crysis?

 

[JLV2k5]

Please do not SLI two 8600s. Please please, it is not worth it. Just get a reasonable 8800GT and you will be fine for Crysis. EVGA 8800GT

 

[ryby2]

alright nice

 

[ryby2]

will i need to buy a fan for the CPU or is it going to come with one?

 

[JLV2k5]

They usually come with a stock heat sink and heat sink fan.

Have you thought anymore about the E8400?

 

[ryby2]

idk i'm most likely going to go with the 8800 GT but im not sure whether to use Tigersdirect or Neweegg. i like thye equipment on tigers a little better but....

 

[ryby2]

also im trying to get everything besides the moniter, optical drives case fans and keyboard/ mouse for under $1000...

E8400, by this i mean the CPU link I sent you on page one of this thread.

This is certainly possible.

 

[ryby2]

oh... my bad about the CPU E8400 looks like a good buy.

 

[ryby2]

Do u have a setup that i could get all that for under $1000?

 

[JLV2k5]

The setup in my sig is designed for around $1000 minus the monitor. It is a planned gaming rig of mine.

i am also looking to make it hook up to the internet wirelessly. Could anyone tell how that could be done with something that hooks in my motherboard? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2959594
or would i need a different mobo for that?
