No for the video card.. and budget that for anything else u think i could use.. i am looking at the X1900XT and the X1800XT they have a retail asus X1900XT at the egg for 350.00?!?!?
Hey, Definatly go with X1**** series. Bloody good cards. I have a Saphire 1800Gto and it simply rocks!!! I have also hear good things about the 1900 so definatly go for that one if you can afford it.
of course.. but now i am worried that my 450W that came with my case will not be sufficient enough. i dont know.. that is why i was asking. thanx, FIHSNERD
You might wanna get a good solid 450-500W PSU from enermax, antec or the like. I have this monster right here and it's rock solid with my X2 3800+ at 2.4GHz. Might be a little over your budget but it'll be the last PSU you'll ever need with that system. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817194004 I like to start budget then upgrade to quality performance parts. I like to use my compy right away EDIT: Also, the wiring on that PSU tends to be messy as there are SATA connectors on every wiring lead. No problem though if you take the time to tuck everything away.
If you think that is a good choice go with it. But I can't recommend RoseWill parts as they aren't really a reputable brand.
They arnt? i have herd nothing but praise from them? i know they don't make the best memory.. but other than that their LCD's are good and everything else is good.. i will try to find a another.. and thanx for the help..
I'm not saying that they are a bad brand. I just mean that they haven't been used enough to really make them a known good brand.
Funny. No it doesn't. You have two GeForce 6600GTs I take it? No match for my X850XT. And your stock 4200+ at 2.2 GHz can't match my X23800+ at 2.4GHz. Speaking of that. I'm gonna turn up the speed of my 120mm fan and take mine up to 2.6GHz as the constant speed. As long as it's cool enough the CPU shouldn't have any problems Maybe do a bit of research before making a comment such as that?
Rob, i never had the proper time to insult you back. those 2 6800 128mg, they suck MAJOR balls. i mean, whats the point? to say "I have SLi"? and i am planing on upping to the 1900 and the power supply, and when it comes to getting a new system? drop in the ps video and hard drive and all i need is mobo ram and cpu! so this is making things easier as i progress.
Whether 2 x 6600GT or 2 x 6800 vanilla 128MB my X850XT could blow you away. Even FISHNERDs single-core 3700+ at 2.4GHz would pwn you. When he ever decides to get the X1900 he will pwn me also though. I might get an X1800XT soon. Then it'll be fun to compare.
Hey Estuansis, dont get the 1800, get the 1900, it only like a 30-40 buck increase for complete pownage... but then you would have the better system all around!! Damn... But i am looking into the ps and the video.. i want a new monitor, but i want to be able to put some of this stuff into my next build.
More than 30-40 dollars. I really don't care either way though. The X1800XT will suffice for me. I can already play Prey and FEAR with full quality at 1280 x 1024... no AA or AF though. Just too big a performance hit for too low of a quality increase. Besides, at 16 x 12 AA is pretty much useless. I can also play Oblivion with just below highest settings at 1024 x 768. The X1800XT is way more than powerful enough to last the next few years.
i just think it is worth the increase.. it will do you longer with the pixel shader.. and help in fear and oblivion and the what not..
