[AAAsnwbordr]

Heres my pc setup, is it good or should i do anything diff?

(I originally got a sony vaio and then put everything into the raidmax case w/psu)

Raidmax case w/ 6 fans
Raidmax 420watt psu
Pentium 4 3.2 Hyper Threading (800 FSB)
asus micro mobo w/ stock heatsink/fan
160gb hd (7200rpm)
512mb DDR400 3200 infineon system memory
9600 128mb ( i think its horrible)

good, bad, ok setup?

So all this is sony parts pulled from a Viao?

YES, except for the graphics card (i've had it for a long time).

Get atleast a Radeon 9800 Pro or an Nvidia FX5960 or above. The 9600 will be hard pressed to play most games. Get at least a gig of ram (shouldn't need more) and def. get away from infineon. The HDD is fine, Price seems to think that bigger is better (or faster is better) and it's not. HDD has nothing to do with gaming after everything has been loaded into cache and memory, that 160 will do you fine.

Ta-Da And kingston is always good in my opinion. I've got HyperX running in here now and it's great.
