Iv been looking for a good pc for a while because iv got to the point where mine is just getting annoying for newer applications (even msn live struggles!) Iv seen a pc which seems ok i dont know though iv heard all about how rubbish the graphics will be and the ram is useless and i will never need that much even in future...anyways tell me the flaws and the good stuff about this pc...by the way i want to be able to have a fast computer with good gaming ability.

AMD Phenom Quad Core 9500 3.6Ghz FSB (14.4Ghz)
8GB DDR2 (4 x 2048MB)
Gigabyte - GA-M57SLI-S4 NVIDIA® nForce 570 SLI chipset
250 GB 7200 RPM Hard Drive
.18x DVD RW +/-
nVidia 8500GT x 2 SLI 1GB Graphics (2gb in total)

Also would i be able to use xp 64bit and still have it running at all its spec? or do i need vista....
Thanks in advance

I really dont think that 9500 will overclock to 3.6, most I have saw have a hard time getting 2.6 . Plus running 2 8500GT in SLI is a waste of money.
If your getting a Phenom get a AM2+ not a AM2 motherboard for better support.

And get a Nvidia 8800GS or GT or a ATI 3850 or 3870

They make 8800GS's? How good are they?

GeForce 8800GS 384MB will be $149-179 and it will replace GeForce 8600GTS. GeForce 8800GS built in 6 groups and 96 Streaming Processors in total, each group has 8 Texture Filtering Unit and 8 Texture Addressing Unit, the stepping reduced to 12 from 16. It matched 192bit memory controller and 384MB memory, so its HDR and FSAA will not as good as GeForce 8800GT.

Only review out there :eek:
 
Alot of people have commented about the graphics card...why are they so useless and why is havin 2 a even more waste of money?
 
Theyre the crappy lovechild of the 8800 series (That goes for 8600s too). They aren't powerful at all, and they are a really bad entry card for DX10.

Two in sli probably wont even give you the power of one 8800gt, so its a waste.

The 8500GT is a very low end card (behind the 7600GT), and having over 512MB of VRAM is pointless on that kind of low end card. Also, theres really no point in having two low end cards, you would be MUCH better off getting a single higher end card.
 
NVIDIA 8800GT 512MB DDR3 320BIT 1800MHZ That one? Is that better than the 1024 version? Also will it be able to run games properly for a while to come (Call of duty 4 etc etc will it run them fine?)
 
the 1024MB version is simply supposed to perform better at higher resolutions, but the 512MB is already good enough for resolutions 1600x1200 and better I think. So, at the price, the 8800GT 512MB (or even the HD3870 512MB) is really the way to go. Unless you have no budget, go with the 8800GTS 512MB.
