newegg computer?

[sellers17]

hey guys I decided to build a computer from newegg because my current one is TERRIBLE. i'm using this computer for everyday use and to play one game.. counter-strike 1.6. all I ask of it is to give high constant fps (preferably 90's-100) with no lag. so i'm wondering, because i've never built my own computer, if these are legit hardware or if I need to change some of them. thanks

To be honest don't expect a whole lot from that video card.. of course the 8800GTS is better but also starts at $270. I would not recommed that motherboard, for a little more or around that price i recommend this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128034

This memory for the price and its DDR2 800

For the motherboard i suppose thats "most bang for the buck" if you have it get the Gigabyte 570SLI for $99

What operating system are you going to use?

 

[sellers17]

thanks.. windows XP most likely. and the video card, the game i play is pretty old so im not too concerned about it, but do you think i should still upgrade to a different card and if so, what is a card for under 200?

 

[ThatGuy16]

This card here is better ($119)

Or this one ($199) which is the 8800GTS with 512mb

Go with the ram ThatGuy16 said and this P/S and motherboard, for a card under 200, for DirectX 10 go with a 8600GTS or with DirectX 9 a X1950 pro-7900GS or 7900GT

Looks good but I would spend the 20 extra bucks for the 570 chipset gigabyte board. And this is a really good deal on a 7900GS

[sellers17]

yeah that board does look a lot better i'll upgrade it

 

[StrangleHold]

Man the X2 4600 have really gone down in price, the first one I bought they were 264 bucks

 

[sellers17]

haha yeah it seems like an amazing processor for only 87 bucks..

 

[StrangleHold]

Price wars, bad for the company but you gotta love it

 

[sellers17]

hahaha yep

This is one kickin little board too but its out of stock. They get them in and they sell out just in a few days so its hard to catch it.
