Is this Compatible?

[barbs1424]

Just making sure that this is a compatible system. I have a tight budget so if some of it is cheap, thats why lol. Also, how good would it run a game like battle for middle earth 2?
Thanks a lot

everything looks good. are you going to use the PSU that came with the case? its prefered that you not and get a better one. also what exactly is your budget? maby you can find a better config in Computer Specs 101.

 

[barbs1424]

budget is only 600 I got everything from newegg.com, also how much is a better PSU?

 

[Mr.Suave]

for $600 you can get a far better computer

I have been told a good psu costs from 30- 50 dollars.

Is that Graphics card better than the one i listed? its only 128MB, and the memory is only 1 gig, i want at least 2., if anyone can talk to me on AIM...Barbs1424 is my name

 

[Mr.Suave]

well your sacrificing alot just for the 2gb which you dont really need. 1 gb will do you fine untill you save enough to get 2gb later on.
