ok... the new cards will be better than the 7800 if oyu can wait.... do you plan on ocing or what???

Get a Opteron 165 if you wanna overclock. Everything looks pretty good.

 

[zerodayATK]

yeah if ocing i would get g skill or ocz tho.. havent herad much bout geil so i cant really decide for you ... o yeah let me give my 2 gb speech .. yo dont need 2 gb .. the only game that takes advantages is bf2 as of right now if you wanna save moeny know get 1 gb stick and upgrade later when games will demand it!!!

im thinking of using Windows OS Vista and i heard that needs more than 1gb to function quickly. And the CPU i dunno, ill check the opteron 165 but i think the one i picked is good, i checked reviews and apparently its really good to overclock up to 3GHz and temp never goes higher than 45C and my case comes built with 4 fans. so i think i can overclock safely with it.

DC gaming isnt worth it yet....probably won't ever be! Just to let you know, DC only increase fps when the game looks like **** ( ie 800x600 , no aa ,no af). But yes wait for the 7900GTX

Heres a link for the DC results...

and i think i will wait cause i aint actually purchasing it till the summer.

 

[BennyV04988]

Im building in june, so ya summer as well. Wont be as robust of a machine as yours but it will still kick a$$. Waiting for AM2 to drop the 939 price....(omg what a dissapointment that turned out to be though, see the post on AM2 Preview).

Im hoping to build for around a grand. If the price drops even lower i might toss in a second gig of ram or a HSF for the cpu/gpu. Who knows...I just want to play some beautiful games with fps over 60!

i heard that the 7800 series ceased production a few days ago...is this true?

 

[BennyV04988]

psshhhh...ah BULL CRAP! Why on earth would they do that? They JUST released the "outdated AGP" version of the **** thing.
