now total that is $375...and from what it looks like i should b playing bf2 on medium/low graphics (maybe higher later if get new RAM) at around 70fps

so what do u think...and do u have ne suggestions to make it cheaper???
btw my PSU is 400 watts so it will hold out fine..its by hercules just incase u want to check it lol...thx
 
i can't tell what chipset that mobo is using. that's all that's bugging me. everything else looks great
 
SIS 761 GX is the chipset.

All I can view is Tigerdirect. I have problems with newegg.
 
no yours fps will be higher. I am playing Bf2 on High settings with highest resoulution at 70fps on a 6600GT. I dont know why it plays so good lol.
 
wow u r???...its prolly because u have more RAM...how much do u have???..also what cpu do u have?? thx
 
i would but guys i have to keep it cheap...and that is about 60 dollars more...if i can keep it within 400 dollars i would....but i just need a cheap/fast enough to play bf2 smoothly system...c right now i only get around 20 fps which makes it harder for me to play and i always miss shots becuz of it...then i play at a friends house on his xps400 and i own MUCH ezier...so i just need some smooth framerates!!!!!! thx
 
Watch out for TigerDirect rebates.. they only work in a certain time period and sometimes you don't even receive your products in time enough to send away the rebate. :( It's happened to me before. :(
 
oh crap...well ill try to make sure to get it within the certain time...ne other suggestions?
 
xiggy. you make so many threads about this. get a 7600gt, it's a great card. the price is great for it, really. i was playing prey today at the highest settings possible without even one hitch! the card is great. theres no need for anything better.
