hey guys...
on a tight budget. This would be my second build...my first build went
REALLY REALLY well, and it has been possibly the most reliable PC I've ever
owned. I'm selling it and building a new system from the ground up.
I've got a mouse and keyboard I love, but tell me about the rest.
Two things namely:
What components could I do better on?
and
Is all this compatible?
So far it all looks pretty schnazzy to me.
I would use it for slightly older shooters (Unreal, CS, Crysis, blah blah)
and CS3.
The old rig is a Conroe E6300, 2GB Mushkin, Rosewill power supply,
and a BFG 8800 GTSOC with 640mb RAM.
I really like the old unit, did well for me.
Will this new one really kick A compared to the old one?
