How does this sound?

Im building a rig from some leftover parts that i have:

• AMD 64 3000 (socket 754) (already have)
• Zalaman Cooler (already have)
• XFX 7600GT
• 768MB of Ram (already have)
• 120 gig 7200 rpm HD (Already have)
• 320 watt Antec truepower (already have)
• Antec Case (already have)

• chinatech micro ATX mobo

what do you think, is it balanced? is the CPU going to be to big of a bottleneck?

 

[joeswm8]

thats pretty solid and balanced id say

 

[diduknowthat]

that looks pretty balanced, though the ram is a bit on the low side.

I would scout for a little more power if you ever plan to upgrade to more demanding parts.

i am thinking about putting a 7300GT into it instead of a 7600, the both seem to have similiar clock speeds and i am going to OC the 7300 anyways. But will i see a huge diffeance in preforamnce as far as gaming goes?

It'd do well... It's not high end for today's standards, but I don't think the processor would be a major bottle neck for that system.

And YES! My room mate has basically my exact system(only AM2 rather than 939) but I have a 7600GT and he got a 7300GS. He tried to play HL2 on his PC...it kept messing up. He finally got it to work after cutting it down to 640x480 and all other settings to their lowest. I can play at 1024x768 with 2x AA, rest on high without a problem...
