Ryuken Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 i'm buying parts to build my new computer and i haven't buy any things yet cuz i dunno if they will go with each other or if something could be bottlenekced and not worth buying.All i need is a cpu,case,videocard,and a motherboard and here's the stuff i've picked ASRock "K7VT4A+" VIA KT400A Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket A CPU ROSEWILL RADEON 9600 Video Card, 256MB DDR, 128-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP, Model "RW9600-256D" POWMAX Case with Side Panel Window (Black), Model "CP03294HL-5" AthlonXp2800+ and i'm waiting for the ram prices to go down or if there's a rebate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsley Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 gamer?Get a faster processor, and get a faster card, radeon 9800 pro, or if you are mr money bags get an X800 XT [rADEON].Go with intel and a 3Ghz Processor with hyper threading inabled. And treat your self to a gig of RAM.Fastets ram availabile is 512Mb DDR (PC3200) 400 , if your mother board can ahndle a 3Ghz, it can handle this type of ram, just remember to check. If you buy the current rig you will be elft behind very quickly... Its still a fast rig and will run doom 3 and half life 2, but fro an extra 200 bucks you could have a demon.

emsley Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 It will play the current crop of games out and the up and coming half life 2, on that card you will averge about 65 FPS To 75 on half life 2 [ which means its good!]So yes the rig you want is and will run anything...You can always update the card at a later date. :-] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 RAM isn't getting any cheaper. In fact, RAM is pretty damn expensive now. But you need atleast 512 RAM now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuken Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 so u don't think the price will drop any time soon? i, myself don't think it will but i don't have enough money and my uncl got a pc2700 512 mb for just 19.99 after rebate so that's why i'm waiting for the price to go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
