You Make It!!!!

[Static_11]

so you have 2 grand to blow on a gaming computer.. but know nothing on how to build it and was wanting just a small upgrade before the idea of getting 2k came along? i think someone asked his parents... ...

will you be overclocking?

lol okay now that apokalipse merged the threads it makes a bit more sense.. i'll see what i can do with $2000.

 

[john3]

for 2 thousand hmm......lets see here....

DFI Lanparty UT Ultra-D-$125 or so

AMD Opteron 165-$380

2x1GB G.SKill- not sure of this price i'd guess around 150-200$

Your video card is pretty good, but if you want to upgrade it go with a eVGA 7900GT-about $300

if you already have a good monitor, keep it, if not go with a good Samsung Syncmaster or Viewsonic, i suggest the

its like $360 or something

Logitech z-530 5.1 speakers which is about $60

and thats about 1.4k i guess, which leaves about $600 for optical drive, hard drive, mouse key, and sound card ( suggest creative X-Fi)

hows that?
