Wish list details

should be more than good enough for what you'll be using them for

f2b has a better selection of parts, and you could just through a 19" widescreen in there for $160, and like he said a HDD probably 320gb would do you fine and those are like $75.

Your link doesn't work. I fixed it.

Wish list details

i think mine's pretty good ^_^

$1022.4 per computer and it can play pretty much any game good

 

[krazyq]

go with the 8800gts suggested, it will play the new directx 10 games.
dont waste money on a 7950...its not worth it for future games.

 

[ThirdLeft152]

what about OS's?

and yes i would not go with 7950gt's at all..

dx10 games get bad fps on the current dx10 cards anyways. we probably wont be seeing good fps until the next line of dx10 cards come out (9800)

 

[krazyq]

i would really agree with that. I know people who have the dx card and are doing fine with it. It all depends on the build and if their pc can support the potential. Gts will be perfect for his build and price.
