Hay guys, I have absolutely maxed what I was going to pay for a gaming pc, I mean I cant go anymore, NONE, so is a 6600 video card good enough to play some of the newer games??
wow
half-life 2 episode:one
call of duty 2
guild wars
etc. etc.
 
Yes, I played BF2 with a 6600GT AGP 128meg card at medium settings and I think HL2 was medium to high...can't remember
 
It will play those games fairly well, probably not maxed out, but at decent settings. I know I can play all those games with my FX5600, so theres no reason you cant play it better.
 
Perhaps you should consider getting a cheaper CPU/Mobo/ect. The 6600 are starting to become old news. For a true gaming machine, at least get a 7600.
 
I cant get a cheaper mobo/cpu, Ive went as low as I can go leme tell you guys the specs, and realized i can get a better one for around 25 bucks more, here are specs from ipower.com

Get rid of the liquid cooling, it's not worth it. Also hold off on the video card for a while, since you have integrated you can use that for a bit until you can afford something like the 7600GS/GT.

Trust me, in the long run you would be glad that you waited a few weeks and get the 7600GS/GT instead of the 7300GS.
 
Wait till conroe comes out, they'll be major price cuts for the AM2 line. Then use the extra money to get the 7900gt or something.
