You don't want a 1440X900 resolution for gaming, trust me.

Why not? I use this resolution on my 19" widescreen monitor and it looks sweet as for all my games!

Dude, ok, im giving you what I built on an israeli store, ill build the same/almost same parts and lets see how much it will cost(should be less that 1000$)


OK: This is what I got - 993$ without system assembly(couldn't find where to ask for system assembly)

Computer - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037
Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059R
RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134065 x3
Video Card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121099
Hard drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148288
Power Supply - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004
Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811233012
DVD Burner - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135156

All of this 993$ no system assembly


Notice that I gave you a better video card and a better case than mine, although this is without a monitor.

Of course you can edit this list as you like. As well notice that I have put there 1x3 GB ram of kingston with 800 MHZ.

So what do you think about this?

Any opinions about this setup?

Edit: Just noticed you already ordered, still what do you think about this setup?

Np.:yes:
Let us know how it is. :) and I guess in a few days congratz.:smile:
So, the PC is everything I've ever wanted.

The fan is kinda loud but, I don't mind.

as for the games, ti's ****ing amazing. 130 fps on tf2 on full high settings = nothing but <3

I lagged on half life 2: Lost Coast during the smoke parts, when smoke came in.

Haven't tested any other games. I need moar games.

you'd get higher fps on TF2, but the CPU is the bottleneck there ;)
I'm glad you're happy, hope you enjoy it!


go play some crysis
