Reputation: 17  |  New Computer That I'm Building Here's for those who are building or are wanting to build a new comp. This may shed some light on your decisions on what computer parts you want to buy. CPU - Intel Q6600 Quad-Core $189 at MicroCenter Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3L Mobo $109 at Microcenter (returning and getting one for $93 shipped on Newegg) 500gb Western Digital HDD SATA 16mb Cache $60 shipped (long time ago, forgot where). Case - Xion II + 450W PSU $59.99 at MicroCenter. Pretty good deal. PSU is gonna die tho. Memory - Crucial Ballistix Tracers 2x1gb PC6400 ddr2 800 - $45 - $25 MIR = $20 from Fry's website Now, I'm looking for a good graphics card that ain't too expensive. I'm currently looking at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161235 Gonna get this as a combo with 2x1gb Tracers (another set) for $180 AR. Anyone have experience with this gfx card? Any advice? |

Reputation: 0  | I would definitely go with a 4850 they are so cheap and perform just as good or better than a 9800gtx which is way more money. Quote:
edit: You're going to need a good power supply for the 4850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139004 Probably the cheapest one that could power that Last edited by Whopper313; 07-08-2008 at 05:53 PM.. | |
