Plus Operating System
and LSD Monitor
ps what Monitor you guys think would go good with Geforce 7800GT. I dont want too expansive but...

and over all what you guys think. Is there some I should change

 

[CrAzY_GaMeR_07]

I really dont like that case and you can get a really sweet one for a lower price. You have awsome hardware and dont want it displayed in a bad case.

Do you need a window?

 

[Kdar]

OS? yea I will get Windows.

Only I not sure should I get new 64bit vertion? or just stay with regular one.

WHat about this case?

 

[PZEROFGH]

go for the X2 3800+ as dual core is the way, and its around the same price...

wheres your power supply?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103933

dont get the ones that come with your case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148063

seagate barracuda 400GB hdd, though

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148066

getting two of those and putting them in raid 0 would be cheaper and more efficient

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130254

if the GTX can fit into your budget then get it

the Gt has 20 pipelines and 400/1000 speeds

GTX has 24 pipelines and 450/1200 speeds i believe

go for windows xp pro

 

[Kdar]

Also... If get thouse two 200 gb harddrives...

DO you think it would be a good idea to install Windows on one and linux on other?

 

[PcMe]

Yeah get the amd x2 3800+.

You can find a 7800GT easily for ~320$

Case - Don't get the Dragon, get the armor. Also get the psu linked above (antec)

Soundcard - Dependant on how much you want to spend, you could get a:
Soundblaster Live!, but doesn't have anywhere near as good of quality as the Audigy2 or X-Fi
Audigy2 ZS vanilla for 60$ after rebates
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102162

Or if you want a crazy good card, the X-Fi for 120$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102162

Monitor -
Again depends on your budget. This is a very good 19" lcd
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116355
but it's 350$.

If you don't want that one, look for one with fairly low response times and can go to fairly high resolutions and such

 

[NosBoost300]

hrmm i've been hearing too many things werent compatible with that windows 64 bit, so i dunno if you want that, lack of drivers i read, and that 64x2, is it really that much better than a 4000+????? which one would really be better for gaming, cuz i too am puzzling over which to get...

 

[Kdar]

yea, same question here. I guess I will go with 4000+, or ask few more ppl, maybe will go in few days to PC shops....

I building this PC for gaming and 3d design. Play games like Oblivion..

 

[NosBoost300]

couldnt you just overclock the 4000+ to that of a FX57, but i read something early today about some certain thing only being unlocked or something like the on the fx series
