U won't have a decent comp at all if u want a 7800GT and u only have 750 bucks to spend. I reccomend saving 100 bucks and going with a 6800GS. THen, spend on a cheap reliable mobo PCI-e (MSI Neo-4 is only 84 bucks), and get 2x512mb sticks, as tehy are cheaper than 1x1gb stick. Get value ram as u don't have much money. Get a case, and psu (preferably seperately, get a plastic case, they're more durable than those EXTREMELY thin metal ones) and don't buy a sound card. And for a processor, get a A64 3000+, they're cheap, and good enough for the job.

Re: [Build a Computer]

hmm actually all i really wanna do is play battlefield 2 on maximum, i just want it to look like those screenshots on yahoo/ea games.

+ ive NEVER built a computer before. so could someone help me look up all the parts, cause i wouldnt no if some are compattible with others.

and isnt a 6800 gs bad? (can it run everything on high) ?

Re: [Build a Computer]

Can you use parts from your current pc for your new pc? like harddrive, drives, etc.
That would save you enough money to get a 7800gt with an average cpu, value ram, and an ok motherboard and psu i think.

Re: [Build a Computer]

You'll need 2Gb of ram to play on high.

[NabilEsmail]

Re: [Build a Computer]

well hmm. i could get the 7800 gt, and 1 gig of ram.
and play medium for now, then in 1 or 2 months add an extra gig.

so say i got all the parts i listed+the 7800 gt and 1 gig of ram.

WOULD I HAVE EVERY SINGLE THING i need to play bf2?
i seriously mean EVERYTHING. to setup the computer etc...

also do all those parts fit together?

For nvidia cards u do, for ati u don't ( i have no idea why, i play on all high, 1280x1024, and 6xaa and 16xaf). Anyways, the GS is the equal to my card, and it's real cheap. You could buy the GS, and that saved money could get u that extra gig of value ram so u could play on all high.

BTW, that' psu WILL NOT hold up a 7800GT for very long. The +12v rating is WAY too low at 18 amps. THat's why i say buy case and PSU seperately.

Re: [Build a Computer]

ok say i went the GS way and got 2 gigs of ram.
would that case hold a GS.

Well on my systems which both have ATI you need 2gb to play on high without stuttering. I play at the same settings as you do and with 1Gb it stutters.

Just because you "think" you get no stuttering and happen to have an ATI does not mean your results apply to all ATI cards.

i dunno, i don't have "hard" evidence for this, but i just got this from a thread debating if u need 2 gb for all high. I still get suttering a TINY bit, but not nearly enough to affect gameplay.

A tiny bit is enough to affect my gameplay. I am a perfectionist.
