Posted in wrong board..........so you might see it again.
I know the basics about building a computer and I can be done. When it comes to the technical specs, I get kinda lost. Im still reading up on that stuff. But I have a quesiton for the PC nutz here.......Im trying to put together a powerful PC to basically play the games that are out now at TOP NOTCH SETTINGS.
I order this stuff lastnight from NEWEGG.com
Thermaltake Full Tower
Asus A8N-32 MoBo
AMD X2 3800+ Dual Core ( Plan on getting and FX later on down the road)
550w Powersupply
2 Gigs DDR 400 (ps3200) of unbuffered ram
eVGA 7800 GT 256mb Video Card (plan on getting a second for SLi when my wife lets me)
19' WideScreen LCD 8ms res 1400x900
Using my previous HD and DVD/CD burner for this...plan on getting a 74 gig WD Raptor HD and going RAID.
This is the main stuff you need for a PC, but then there the bells and whistle......like larger Heatsinks, Fans, Temp. displays, lights, etc. Don't need that stuff right now.....just want to be able to Play F.E.A.R, BF2, and Doom 3 and HIGHEST Settings.
So for all you PC Gamer buffs......
1. Am I going to get High setting in these games with still good FRAMERATES?
2. Anything cheap that will help the performance.
3. Something on the list that I should have gotten different, (which would cost about the same)
4. Any input would be helpful.....thx inadvance.
