Good Deal for a PC?

[PowderedWater]

I am making a new Gaming Rig since my current PC is over 4 years old and I can't play any new games at all, and current games such as BF2 I have to play at the lowest settings. Wondering if the one I made is a good deal for what it is.


CASE: CyberPower X-Titan Tower 420Watt Case with 8 Open Bays & Side Window
CPU: (Socket AM2) AMD Athlon™64 X2 5200+ Dual-Core CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology
MOTHERBOARD: (Socket AM2) Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe nForce 570 SLI MCP Chipset DDR2/800 MBoard w/ Dual PCI-Express
MEMORY: 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory (Corsair Value Select or Major Brand)
VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB 16X PCI Express (EVGA Powered by NVIDIA)
VIDEO CARD 2: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB 16X PCI Express (EVGA Powered by NVIDIA)
LCD Monitor: NONE
HARD DRIVE: Single Hard Drive (320GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD)
Data Hard Drive: NONE
Optical Drive: (Special Price) 18X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW DRIVE DUAL LAYER
Optical Drive 2: (Special Price) 18X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW DRIVE DUAL LAYER

All in all, it will cost me almost $2,500 after shipping, what do you guys think, will it run current and future games good, is it a Rip-Off or a good deal? Thanks

I would go with a core 2 duo E6700 and a Evga 680i mobo. Also, you will need atleast a 700W psu for that rig.

Eh, you could build the same thing for under $2000 by buying the parts from online stores like newegg.com.

Go Core 2 & an ASUS 680i. Get a quality 800-1000W PSU for 8800 GTX in SLI. Grab an X-Fi sound card
