Possible New Rig

_Sp4wn_ · July 2010

This is what I have so far:

Case:
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5520044&sku=T925-3018

Motherboard:
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4914874&sku=I69-2200

CPU:
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6307069&sku=I69-655K

RAM:
http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4433882&sku=K24-7072

Im planning of using the HD's of my current PC on this new rig, so buying a new HD is out of the question.

The only thing that I need to know is what Video Card I should buy.
Here are all the video cards available:
http://www.compusa.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=28&name=Video-Cards&cm_sp=Header-_-PAR_DD2-_-CatID_28

The price so far is $500.94 without the Video Card, and I would like to keep the price under $700 if its possible.

Feedback would be appreciated

Thanks.

EDIT: If you know about another case that looks good and has a good price, let me know.

I dunno 4GB seems pretty small if you want a gaming rig.

I suggest go with 6GB of ram and this video card

Also did you think about the power supply to run all that?

Yeah I did think about the power supply, that one is easy, my father sells computers/computer parts, but it would be cheaper for my parents to buy all the parts in USA than in Mexico, I guess he can get me a nice power supply.

6 Gbs? Well I thought I was good with 4, I will think about it.

Ya'll don't know 'bout my windows 90.

BlindIsALie · July 2010

If your planning to run vista or windows7, the more ram the better.

Both of them east alot of ram to run games, so the more the better.

Actually I was planning to use Windows XP, I think that 4 Gbs are enough if I use Win XP.

iBlunts · July 2010

Windows 98 do et.

No thank you, I'm happy with my Windows XP.

First was obviously a typo, but thats your choice.

There's an EDIT button for a reason, that was your choice.

iBlunts · July 2010

Your getting your tiny little brain confused, I was saying what operating system you wanted was your choice, calm down and chill your *****.

Th3_V1P3R · July 2010

Looks good.
Get a bit more.. decent memory, lets say..., fast yet decent value RAM does not exist..

As for Video card, I'd suggest ATi 5000 series, a 5850 tbh if you can afford or 5770 also seems good. If you do not want DX11, just got for a GTS250.

For that price, thats good case.

Thats my feedback.

Boldur · July 2010

You can pay alot of money for a game you only need 50 FPS in.

My comp is $1,200 and it runs on 75 FPS in 8v8s.

@ Blind, 4GB is good.

Since I have windows XP , the maximum RAM that I can use is 4 Gb, unless I get a new 64 Bit OS (Win 7 & Win Vista, and I dont like both of them) I will get stuck with the 4 Gbs.

I appreciate your feedback, thanks.

Just putting it out there because I'm not sure if you know about it, but XP 64 bit is absolutely horrible. If you're thinking about it, please cease all thoughts.

As for the video card, try a 5770.

I tried to move on to Win Vista & 7, never liked them, XP 4life.

Agreed, however, when I build my next gaming machine I'll be using 7. As for now though, I just use a combination of SevenVGBL and VIGlance. I love 7's interface, I just dislike the decreased performance.

Anyways, I'll stop spamming your topic. If you need any other help let me know.
