Do you think this computer will be able to run flawlessly on high?

Everything on high = )

[FLIPINOM4D]

lol Damn, high probably, Medium definatly. If on 800x600 Resolution

[Remy X.O.]

i would get 512 more ram

[djstubbs]

Medium.

i would get 512 more ram

That would be a f'ing waste as he would not be running in dual channel any more.

That system will run on high no problems. I'd ditch the 3500+ and go with a 3200 or 3000 and O/C it. The 3500 is a waste of money IMO.

Do you want those OEM things? They dont come with the wiers. Its just the main thing. Get ones that say -Retail

Ummm...ok.... Only "wires" you would need are the SATA and IDE cables, which come with the MOBO. OEM just doesn't come with the often useless software.

[Boots0032]

Appreciate it guys-

So it's ok to get the OEM or does it make a difference?

[NoSoup4You]

Get the OEM, the cables will come with the mobo.

The reason i didnt get anything lower is beacuse I'm not real sure how to o/c and i really don't wanna mess up my comp. Also, the 3000 is only 1.8 ghz, the 3200 is 2.0ghz and the 3500 venice at 2.2ghz is only like $25 more than the 3200. So it is either go with the 3500 or sacrifice some processor power and learn how to o/c and possibly mess up my comp and get the 3000.

It'll run everything on High for the most part. Probably some on Medium.

AMD 3200+ = P4 3.2ghz

Overclocking is quite easy to learn, and the only way to really damage something is to do something stupid.
