    Going with a new desktop!

    Well I started looking at some computers and im building my own desktop, I just wanted to get an opinon on how this will play bf2, sp etc

    EVGA Geforce 7900 GT KO 256MB GDDR3/PCI-E/HDTV-Out/Dual-DVI-DL (Retail Box)
    Pre-Tested and Setup AMD Athlon 64/FX/X2/Opteron 100(939) Combo 1 Motherboard: - MSI K8N Diamond Plus nF4 SLI Audio/GB-LAN
    Processor: - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual-Core 1MB Per
    Memory: - DDR (400) 3200 - 2 GB (2 pcs 1GB) Corsair w/ Heatsink
    Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB 10,000 RPM Serial ATA150
    ViewSonic 17" VA702B TFT LCD (Black)
    Antec True Power 2 550 SLI ATX 2.01 550W Power Supply
    Thermaltake 120X120X25mm Case Fan Ball Bearing

    Just wanted some opinons on how everything would run on BF2, CS:S if you have it, etc..

    Any comments or opinons would be great. And yes, im not getting a laptop after long tough thinking...I think that was the right way to go.

    Get the 19" viewsonic, if your going to spend that much on a nice system you might aswel get a decent size monitor. :)

      Moved to correct forum :)

      Anyways, your computer will run CSS. It doesn't take much to run that game nicely. BF2 will run very very nice. No clue on res's, but I'm sure you could get away with high on 1280x1024

        Viewsonic VX922 19" LCD.

        Ditch the MSI and get a board that doesn't suck like Asus or DFI.

        Why does everyone buy Corsair ram? It totally drives me nuts.

                  I was expecting it to be a great Mobo, since I asked a someone on a recommendation on a good mobo and he specified this. I'll ask him one more time, but what would anyone else recommend?

                  I will look into the 19' viewsonic :) gotta budget :cry:

                    Don't buy msi, I did and have regretted it ever since. Go with the asus a8n32 deluxe.
