Hellsent's rig is very nice. I basically made the same system for a friend of mine last week and it runs great.

[x + 95 = 4x - 10]

hi everyone

what do you think.. im just copy pasting the seller's specs. for $579 usd
never mind it got sold

[Hellsent 2.0]

Hdd is small, wouldnt trust the Psu, and the ram sounds weird....Oh and by seller do you mean ebay? Please dont..Just build it

[=98=]

Yeah, that setup is a bit "iffy". Uknown branded memory, motherboard and PSU. Recipe for disaster lol.

[x + 95 = 4x - 10]

no no it was just an ad on craigslist i was just curious..

ok back to business

i think ive decided on the e2180 and 9600gt combination what do you guys think

[=98=]

Yes. As long as you overclock that CPU, it won't bottleneck the 9600gt.

[x + 95 = 4x - 10]

would you recommend the 9600gt over an 8800gs

[=98=]

Yes i would.

[Hellsent 2.0]

Me too..but Foh shure you HAVE to overclock that Cpu..otherwise you will see a bottleneck as alex said

[x + 95 = 4x - 10]

alright everyone thanks alot for your help ive got my final order list ready and ill order tonight or tommorow unless something unexpected pops up.

one question just for educational purposes... ocing the e2180 to whatever im supposed to oc it will make it equivelant to what core 2 duo processor

[=98=]

I reckon a 3.0ghz might get the same performance as a stock E6600?

[Vash2051]

Alex is right. If you hit around 3.0 it will be the same as a 2.4 or so C2D. Also if you need help with the over clocking don't hesitate to ask. I've done it way too many times to not know what to do.

[x + 95 = 4x - 10]

yeah i definately will haha.. ok thanks ill post again if i have a question

[=98=]

I've got some magazine rips that tell you the exact process, and what to do. PM me if you want them

[x + 95 = 4x - 10]

hi

so before i buy it i wanted to post the parts to make sure everything is in tip top shape.. ok:

Intel Dual-Core E2180 Allendale 2.0GHz 1MB L2 Cache Processor -- (for this i have not gotten a better fan because from reviews it goes to 3.0ghz on stock cooling)
ASRock ConRoe1333-D667 R1.0 Core 2 Duo/ 945GC/ DDR2/ A&V&L/ MATX
KINGSTON 2GB (2x 1GB) DDR-2 667MHZ PC-5400
Western Digital WD800JD 80GB SATA2 7200rpm 8MB Hard Drive -- (i have another external drive so the small size on this one is fine)
IBM 48X CD-ROM DRIVE
nVidia GeForce 9600GT 512MB DVI/TV-OUT PCI-Express Video Card
ROSEWILL 600 WATT SLI PSU -- (it has 19amps on each 12v rail and there is a total of two 12v rails)

and just to make sure.. this will most likely play;
older games on high (bf2, bf2142, far cry, quake 4)
and games like ffow, gears of war, etc on mediumish?

also what settings could I play ArmA on? i tried to look all this info up but it says mostly "3,0 ghz pentium 4" and my processor is only 2.0 ghz but i think its better still so idk
