Re: Building a gaming computer

go for the 7900gt if u can spare the money, for a gaming machine, its gonna be worth it.

for your HDD, u can get 2 and put them on RAID 0 to get better performance on them.

your acer lcd has built in speakers, perhaps not necessary to get speakers again. get a gd headset instead. http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showt...hlight=headset
also, the pixel pitch is too big, 0.294mm is big, 0.25mm is the more common size. 8ms might still see some ghosting. power consumption of 60W is a little on the high side, try finding about 40W, friendlier on your electricity bills.
i think the samsung syncmaster or viewsonic VX series would be gd.

microsoft mouse for gaming like bf2 would not be fast enough. i would say the razer viper, db or copperhead or logitech mx series or g5. keyboard, perhaps can try saitek or logitech, may have programmable macros too.
of course, i recommended more expensive but better alternatives, but it still depends on how much u can spare really.

venny just C4'd his entire budget with the video card alone. hahaha

Re: Building a gaming computer

I could switch things around but I the final price must be around the same as now

If that monitor already has speakers does that meen I could just skip buying more speakers?

And if I stay with those monitor-speakers should I stay with that card or try something else..


Below is the video card I will get if I can save $80 by changing another part

dump the speakers and sound card. use the built in speakers (you won't have a sub woofer if that matters?) and the on board sound and then get this video card.

Re: Building a gaming computer

Danny are you using a sound card or just the onboard sound?

I still say with that X2 processor just put the money into something else. specially if you're only doing 2.1

yes i am using onboard sound and i am also thinking of getting a new soundcard which is the best one for gaming?

If you're a student in the U.S., you may be able to get an OEM copy of MS XP pro through your bookstore for ~$10-$35. Many schools buy bulk licenses and they offer them to students at hugely reduced costs.

Re: Building a gaming computer

what he said. even the Creative rep that was at the store last week recommended that one to me until he found out I use the USB headphones. he said it's really nice and will make a big difference.

oh, also Danny, well and Sir, you might want to read up on the AMD processors and RAM. I just found this out, but if you put 4 sticks of RAM in the motherboard it will actually slow down the RAM. I ended up buying two 1Gb sticks and it jumped from 188Mhz to 200MHz without doing anything else. you can DL a program called CPU-Z that will show you all the speeds if you don't have it yet.

Yes that's a well know fact that MatDef surely knows. It lowers the command rate to 2T, then depending on the revision of the CPU, will downclock the RAM to 333Mhz.
