Alright now I originally ended up wanting to spend about 700 but now this totals up to about 1020$ with shipping and what not so that might be the best I can do... However I sitll have no speakers and the only option I has was to shave off the ram to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146524
Because I would like to get some decent speakers with this new comp... Nothin fancy.. So yes finnally I think im done putting this together once I get the price and the speaker deal fixed... Any and all input is appriciated

ok i think u should go with an AMD system since u do play some intensive games (bf2), i recommend a motherboard from either ASUS or DFI, stay away from ABIT because theyre not so good at the moment, the cpu u get depends on your budget i would try for at least a 3200+ but try to get a 3500+, for ram i would get something from either OCZ or corsair and as for the rest of it i wouldnt change anything

 

[PerfectSK]

Lol, its good to see ppl still supporting the Intel P4. System looks nice. You might want to get a motherboard from Asus, cuz like the other guy said Abit isnt looking too good right now.

Here's a good ASUS mobo..

If your on a budget why not get this, Yes it has integrated but it already has great specs so all yuo would need is a 6800gs and your good too go and save ur self some money i duno jusy my opinion on what you should do...

no sata and no overclocking...probably not a good idea, its better to build

 

[Skatterbrain]

See I had an amd system built. But my friend who is a hardcore gamingis a huge intel fan. And he didnt just go through reviews on newegg every single item on there he reaed reviews from various sources on each one. I think alot of people who say go amd are just sayin it cause everyone else says it... Or I could be totally wrong who knows xD. MY last asus board only lasted me a year

 

[MooseMan1]

i've got an ASUS board and although i've only had it for a week now it runs great! as far as ur stuff goes i love the intel cpu, and the sata hardrive is great but i would downgrade that a bit and go with higher ram, perferable corsair XMS but the ddr667 in XMS i believe is expensive. i would think u'd probably be happy with 200 or 250 gigs like i have for storage, but stick with sata 3.0....well idk i didn't seem 2 find any XMS that were that good but idk *shrugs*

 

[Skatterbrain]

Well I knew I wouldnt use 300g when I bought it... But when I looked at smaller harddrives, there wasnt a big difference in the price range.. And that particular recieved excellent reviews from multiple sources (besides newegg)

 

[Skatterbrain]

So besides the fact that most of you like amd more then intel... No one has any horrible story of these particulars frying and what not? (abit not included >_<) I know replying to this thread is like kicking a dead horse but im buying it tomorrow and I just want to make sure xD. If you consider this spamming them im sorry

Everything looks good to me, although I went with BFG simply because of the Life Time Warranty. The only suggestion I can think of.

This card is a little bit better, and at the same time a bit more expensive, but worth it for a BFG card.

Core Clock 580 Mhz
Memory Clock 1450 Mhz

Only thing I can see that's negative is the 128 bit memory, instead of the 256 bit memory.

Just a suggestion.
