    Need some help with building

    For Christmas I getting a new comp but problem is all has too not go over 2,000 bucks. So I check my local computer store and found these but wondering how well it will run Battlefield 2

    Computer Specs:
    Tsunami Dream ATX Tower Case, No Power Supply- $143.99
    Athlon 64 3200+, 2.00 GHz, 2.0 GHz FSB, Socket 939 Processor-In-A-Box- $189.99
    Ultra16 250GB Hard Drive, 7200RPM, Internal, SATA/150- $147.99
    1GB PC3200 184pin DDR400 DIMM Memory Module- $99.99 (sales price was $120.00 but since its X-mas and all).
    Radeon X800XL Video Card, PCI Express, 256MB DDR- $299.99

    Total is $881.95 plus icluding taxes which I guess are over 1,000 bucks but not over 1,100 bucks. Anyone know any cheaper price, please let me know. I also looking for a Power Supply for this computer and Motherboard, so if anyone knows (because I'm totally new to the computer tech even though I taking Computer Science for college) please let me know. Thanks

            That system looks fine, but I'd change the proc to this one:
            We’re sorry, but this page does not existing. Please visit our home page for more information.

            It's a little more expensive, but worth it.

            Since agp is pretty much dead, I'd change the graphics card to this:
            We’re sorry, but this page does not existing. Please visit our home page for more information.

            Much better performance, plus it isn't a refurb.

            You're gonna want a sata hd, not a pata one:
            We’re sorry, but this page does not existing. Please visit our home page for more information.

            Same drive, smaller cables, and prob better performance

            For the mobo, I'd get this one:

            Should have all the features you want.
            Hope this helps. :)

              Yes, I set around 1,000 bucks knowing its not the best overall but hey money is coming short (damn gas prices :p) but anyways, Sir Matdef those are damn good looking items you found for me lol. I did the total and its $1,111.28. I guess I have to beg my parents and all. But is Newegg doing a x-mas special liked 10% off to any sale items? Thanks Sir. MatDef by the way where you get the money for your specs lol?

                I worked as an intern in the IT dept. of a biotech company all summer, and my mom gave me some money too.

                Note: I still paid for most of the system.

                        Use Mwave

                        Go with the 3500+ instead, it is right at $200.

                            The geil is designed to oc, and is much higher quality than the corsair.

                              that's what i'm wondering. If i had a limit of $2000, i would place an order for $1999.99.
