This is a pc question so yeh

Currently i got a p4 2.2
512 pc2700
GfFX 5200



I was thinking of getting a new computer............

something like this http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=eMachines_T6520


Since it comes with a gig of ram, lotsa hd space, and has pci-e slot, and is cheap


or i was thinking of getting a top of the line vid card for my current set up, plus a gig of ram, wich of theses two options would you choose, as currently i play Battlefield 2, and its pretty crappy on my current set up :-/

Yeah, looks good. I'm not going to get a new computer at least until Windows Vista comes out, which is likely to be a system hog. So I'd recommend just upgrading various parts of your computer, but thats just me.

[divineauthority]

yeah id upgrade the processer if you can to sumtin like 3.2ghz and a Nvidia 600gt/ultra. im gettin the latter for my bday.

[Yppolitia]

Looks pretty nice. I prefer custom building my computers :thumb:

[Turkish]

not bad for the price, but I agree with Yppolitia...I'm more into making my computers. You can usually make a nicer one for the costs.

And its more satisfying.

[Turkish]

truth, and you get to customize the case and heatsink and oh joy!!!


it's very fun :thumb:

[Crapdragoon]

Yeah well, i really dont know, what are good Mobo+cpu combos, and i really dont have enough cash to make my self a nice computer, i guess unless i save up for a few more months or something, i guess it can be a xmas gift to myself, ah well thanks for the input~

[Turkish]

I'm using

and

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=241794

motherboard price seems about right but the cpu went up a ton. I got the motherboard because it's best compatible with my ram

So your saying i should upgrade my current pc? but i dunno the processor is only 2.2 , i was thinking id need at least a 3.0 or 3000+ For some of the newer games

[Turkish]

it's not so much dependent on the Gigahertz as it is FSB. A processor will help a lot with game, but so does ram and a good video card.

I can run Doom 3 on Ultimate Quality at 45+ fps and Half-Life 2 and max res with high quality graphics at 50 fps.

A lot also depends on if you take care of your computer. You could either upgrade or just buy a whole new system piece by piece. That's what I did, but the system you have decided on is a good system, especially with a 64 bit processor. I'm only using a 32 bit processor, 64 bits will be able to double my power.

Always customize one, even if you use a place like www.ibuypower.com , never buy from like Dell/HP/eMachine/etc.

How does this sound?



MSI K8N Neo4-F mother board

AMD 64 3500+

1024 MB Corsair XMS ram

Nvidia Gforce 6800GT

some whatev 120gb HDD


dvd drive

cdrw drive


$1233 from ibuypower.com

Hows it sound? maybe in a month or so i could get it, and it will maybe be cheaper?


Edit- i can get it with the 7800gtx for 1220 using the fx bargin option lol how tricky is that?

[REINER]

The 7800GTX kills the 6800GT.
