Re: Help me, please.

Even though you might just want to play BF2 or whatever, you will no doubt want to play newer games that come out. So if I was you either get:

Intel Duo Core 2. or a P4 Prescott or alike. Get at least a 3GHZ and dual core.

For AMD, a 3800+ is popular get dual core. Processors are needed for games yeah, but they are not the top requirement for games. Games rely on Graphics and RAM heavily. A 3800+ is fine, but you can bump up to a 4400+ maybe if you want.

Graphics cards, what you posted is old and outdated by far. It looks like your on a tight budget, so I suggest for Nvidia get a 7600 card.

Re: Help me, please.

So, for those options, I should pick the first one?

**Eternal-Souljah** · 10-15-2006, 09:58 AM

Re: Help me, please.

Yeah the 1st one since you have limited yourself to that, but the 1st one is your best bet imo.

Re: Help me, please.

This package should work/play properly together, right?

Motherboard: Asus P5B I965P S775 Core 2 Duo SATA2 Socket 775
Hard Drive: WESTERN DIGITAL 250GB SATAII 16MB
Processor: INTEL PENTIUM D 945 3.4GHz/800MHz
Memory: Kreton / Starex DDR2 1GB PC-5300 CL5
Video-card: Inno3D 7950GT 512MB DDR3 PCI Express

So those work properly together? And I think that's pretty good hardware. Am I right?

Re: Help me, please.

I've got the x800xl mate, and tbh its a really good card, but old. It only has the SM2.0, not 3.0 like the cards of today, also it wont be able to run newer games because of this. So if I were you I'd buy the 7600gt, better quality and lasting appeal

Re: Help me, please.

Oh, thanks about that matey. :)

Guys check out the first post, please.

Re: Help me, please.

OK replace the pentium D with a core 2 duo and get 2gig of ram + 550 psu will not harm (to be in the safe side ) otherwise its fine not to mention the 7950 does not support dx10 its ur call after all

**Ramirez** · 10-15-2006, 12:00 PM

Re: Help me, please.

What do you mean by the DX10?

So you'r saying that that "package" doesn't work like that? What sould I change?

No big changes please, that's pretty cheap.

Re: Help me, please.

I mean that the next generation graphic cards are coming soon so buying a directx9 is a bit of shame although it can play any game flawlessly but its better to get a cheaper card right now and upgrade later to directx10 so my suggestion as follows

Motherboard:
Asus P5B I965P S775 Core 2 Duo SATA2 Socket 775
Hard Drive:
WESTERN DIGITAL 250GB SATAII 16MB
Processor:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz
