change the sparkle 6600 gt to an evga one itll run better, get a better psu like an antec or some other higher end 1. and for ram get cosair. mobo get either dfi lanparty ultra or abit an8

That motherboard gets good ratings, and I'm getting the one that is one rank above it. It will do everything you need i think.

I've got the sparkle 6600GT, and its got one of the better heatsinks from what ive heard and experienced

0o0, i would consider a new mobo. Something like a Abit AV8 or Abit AN8.

wats wrong with dat mobo?
i need a pcie as well...
isn't the nforce 4 the latest?

there's a pixel view 6600gt and a MSI 6600gt for around the same price...(as da sparkle)

thanx

Most people here dont like GIGABYTE

 

[reggie_da_man]

i suggest that u get a hard drive with an 8mb buffer instead of 2mb. it will boost preformance.

Gigabyte is good, but for motherboards they're not as fast as other motherboards. I would suggest maybe the DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D

Samsung 120G SERIAL ATA Hard Drive 8MB 7200RPM (SP1213C)

if not any other suggestions...wats sata raid and does this
