800-900 dollar gaming computer

[Xiggy]

ok guys i saw what you did for the guy with 1500 to build a gaming computer..now i saw great results because u guys know a lot...now here is my idea for my 800-900 dollar gaming computer

amd3200+
evga nforce4 sli mobo or msi if i do am2
evga 7900ko
1gb ddr500 or ddr2 800....later another to do 2gb dual channel
creative labs sound blaster
hitachi desktar SATA 3gb/s 80gb (i only need around 80 not too much)
antec truepower 550watts sli support
antec solution slk3000 case black

now if u had 800-900 dollars to spend and u didnt need a mouse or keyboard what would be ur setup...this way i can kind of compare because i still wont be building for a while.....thx

That's pretty good. However, those HDD's are cheap... throw in another one and RAID 'em!

looks good to me. i've heard wierd things about the 7900 ko and 7900 co and i can't remember which you are supposed to stay away from. oh well looks nice. no monitor needed either?

no i got my own right now...also later i will get new speakers and a sub...friend has them and makes gameplay awesome...ne ways...RAID???!?!?...also what would u suggest instead of a 7900co or ko???just a gt?

if u wanna save money, u could get 1 7600gt and sli it eventually if its not enough. they work great and dont cost too much. also, i say go with am2. it will last u longer

 

[Xiggy]

true u have a point...but i want 7900 because...its only 100 dollars more..and...twice the pixel piplines...and 256bit...so it should be performing much better..well maybe...i just want something more then a 7600gt...but thx...ill look up some 7600gt vs 7900gt and see teh diff.

wait i just saw ur thread badninja about the mobo with nforce570...is that the best now???

 

[kchi55]

yeah nforce570 is the best chipset right now. am2 motherboards only.
