What do you think about this as my new computer

[Deathtrap1986]

I just moved so I have NO time to build my new computer and I found this and it isn't that bad of a deal. YES I know it is from Circuit City and I didn't make this post for any of the smart-*** comments. I understand but here:

Desktop: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Gatew...oductDetail.do

Monitor:

GRAPHIC CARD**:

http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=160772&c=1

Here is the specs for everything:

AMD Athlon X2 4200+
2gb PC4200 Ram
250GB HD 7200RPM
400W PSU (I know this may not seem like a lot but you think it will run the graphic card)

Monitor 19.5" Widescreen
8ms response

Graphic card
EVGA e-GeForce 7950 512mb
560MHz GPU



Like I said don't make any of the "comments", I know. This SHOULD run BF2 on high. It also is good for photo and music stuff that I do.



Am I correct?

Not to sure but somthing tells me U better double check the PSU.

Thats a FAT card and probably uses alot. So will the Dualy core.

I myself am going for a single core FX 57 for my next rig:p

Yeah I have a 650PSU at my house right now from my old computer. I believe its 650 I have to check again.


What would YOU reccomend for it

400W is the minimum....hmm

Looks nice, for a grand you should build 1. It only takes a few hours to put together, time shouldnt be a problem.

Its a nice PC. It depends on what you want. Its easier to go somewhere and buy a package deal come home and set it up. You should price out some stuff at newegg just to see. Do you know if the motherboard is good. Whats the FSB.

Not bad for a prebuilt, acutally have some good quality parts, I'd buy it as its the same price as one would be off of newegg and plus youget the moniter

You can use your old PSU in your old case to power/hold your drives to help keep things cooler.

Get a 10,000 RPM Raptor HD.

Make your pagefile twice as big as your RAM size and give it its own dedicated drive. i.e., if you have 2GB RAM, make your pagefile 4GB (min and max) and stick it on a separate physical drive that is only used infrequently.

Pretty good for a prebuilt. You could get something better if you built it, but it might not be worth all the time.

A site to check out: www.magicmicro.com
Pick the parts, they build it and ship it.

Re: What do you think about this as my new computer

Definately go for a better PSU. Suggestion: 550 - 650W+ or so.
