Need New Computer Suggestions

[IRWolfy]

I'm about to build a whole new computer since I've finally started having trouble playing these new games on high quality...specifically BF2. What I mainly need help with is suggestions on graphics cards (where to get the best deal, most powerful, etc) I've already decided on a clear acrylic blue case and now I'm looking into a water cooling system. I'm wondering if it's worth it, I know it looks pretty cool but is it worth the work.

What is your budget ^^?

[IRWolfy]

Well right now I would say Ive got a pretty high budget, but I dont want to overspend.

[Snake101]

I would say your best bet is to get your stuff on Newegg.com

[Varhalla]

NewEgg.com is the best place for people in the US.

If you watercool, please don't buy a kit. Make your own custom one. http://www.dangerden.com/ for watercooling stuff.

Monarchcomputer has the best prices on everything, I ordered from there and everything came a day early.

Not only does Monarch not charge tax, but their prices are better.

Online tax only really applies in a few states....

tell me your budget and ill buid you a monster one..

[Snake101]

Just one word of advice here...always go custom

[IRWolfy]

Yeah I do plan to go totally custom with this. Building from scratch basically. I can't give you a definate budget though, whatever happens, happens.
My goal is getting to use the high quality setting for video in my online play. Right now I'm stuck on low since it's the only setting not holding me back from the horrid lag.

So I'm looking into vid cards right now.

Why would you even consider paying $500 for any ATI card when the 7800 gtx is out...

Ya, go for the 7800GTX if you have that much money, if you want a PCI-e X850XT it's only 400 bucks at newegg.com, PC world only sees the retail prices, they don't go on newegg.com

See sig for details of an excellent BF2 rig...

I play 1600 x 1200 with 4 x aa and 8 x af and 90 fps average most maps.
