I have a question about the MOBO and HD, the MOBO says it supports SATA 1.5gbs and the one I picked out is a 3gbs. Will it work, if it doesn't can you tell me what will?

-OR-

Can someone build me a decent system for about the same price?

Re: New system, check please.

Lemme try to build you a system, the one you have now is decent but I don't really like the mobo, hd, or psu.

Re: New system, check please.

Nothing wrong with that build, except for the PSU and a few small suggestions.

First get a DVD/RW that has bundled burning software such as nero. That drive comes with no software. Go with a lite-on or other brand that has something.

Secondly that case makes me want to puke, and your PSU is weak and a mediocre brand. This is a better choice (not best, but better)

Everything else looks fine.

NOT THE AUDIGY SE OF BF2 DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For BF2, onboard sound would give you just as good of a result. YOU CAN'T RUN HARDWARE acceleration with the audigy se.

The card isn't bad, it just won't do what you expect. For another $30, you can buy a refurb audigy 2zs (7.1, hardware accleration) from creative's ebay store.

Re: New system, check please.

either stick with onboard sound or go with an x-fi card. no point in getting that stupid sound card.
if this is a gaming rig, I wouldnt get value ram, but that is your choice.
the video card is good along with the processer.
The motherboard in my personal opinion is a great mobo for the build, but others say MSI sucks, w/e if you want to go with something else because others said so, go ahead, but to me it is a fine mobo.

the case is a little cheap (40$) but my xion case works great (different model of course) so you may want to up on that, but it should work good, read the reviews remember that.

yes, get a better PSU as already posted...
and that extra fan is really stupid because there is no where in the case to put it because it already comes with fans.

Re: New system, check please.

^ i agree with all of their suggestions. to add to them i would suggest getting 2gb of RAM its really worth the money to ensure a quick load and stutter free game on all high on BF2

Re: New system, check please.

Thanks guys :). Parents make enough money for the upgrades to get down the road. Anywho I'm waiting for that system MatDef...

Re: New system, check please.

Note, the hard drive you picked out is OEM.... just in case you didn't notice or somethin....

Drop that soundcard and use the onboard sound, then spend the extra money on this RAM instead... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145491

Re: New system, check please.

^almost every single internal hard drive on Newegg is OEM, thats just how they come.

Wow, you have absolutely no idea what the hell you are talking about. Please go away and never post in this section again unless you have a problem.

Also, I should have a system for you finished around noon tomorrow, I'm really busy right now or I would've gotten to it sooner. Sorry.
