I ment like for good year or 2 before I have to do some major upgrades for it.

really depends what type of technology comes out... i'd say it might last 2 years without major upgrading if you got one of these processors
and added another stick of the RAM i suggested... but really that would be dishonoring ur budget alot... i suggest you get the original system i suggested for you but with the 2nd video card i suggested... then sometime mebbe in a year or 2 get one of these processors and another gb of ram... unless you really do have money to spend... but to be more future proof you would have to get one of these and another GB of ram...

No. There is no such thing as the future proof pc.

depends on what we define as future proof;) obviosly nothing will last forever... but somethings will last longer than other things...

Im really sorry for going off topic, but i really need to know..., which is better, that or the video card in my sig? (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150139)
And if the difference is small, then would it be worth getting that instead, saving me money so i can afford shipping...?
Click to expand...
that is what PMs are for, for future reference.... those 2 video cards are a very evenly matched... the one that u gave me a link to might be slightly better... but way beyond this guys price range and IMO it wouldn't be worth it for him...

Yea, he told me that they were good parts. should I get a Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 pro, b/c you never told me what kind a fan to get. Thanks for all the help.

that fan is made for putting it on a processor... your processor already comes with a fan&heatsink... so unless you are gona do some overclocking, the the fans and heatsink that come withthe processor will be more than fine... and if you do plan to overlocking the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 pro is a good choice... but, yea. If you don't overclock, what you have is baisically fine... your case comes with 2 80mm fans, your processor comes with its fan and heatsink, and your video card has its own fan and heatsink on it... if you want to put a fan in, you could put in a 120mm fan and i think you will be more than fine... this would be a good choice (cus it matches ur case and other fans, works nicely, and has good reviews...)

i'm goin to bed now... goodnight everyone...

Added a dual-core, 2 gigs of RAM. The video card will unlock to a X850XT with little work. Downright beats Encore's setup, no offense to him (it was a good setup by the way).

The new one is laser cut, you need to find an older one in order to unlock the pipes.
