DFI Ultra-d Mobo

1 GB of G skill ram
X1900 xt or Geforce 7900 gt
Plus all the other stuff....
Oh and if you have extra money you should get an XFi soundcard.

 

[fuz_master]

agreed

 

[reggie_da_man]

Why would he get a DFI and a soundcard? The DFI is kind of expensive for running things at stock speeds (i doubt he's going to be overclocking) and the soundcard, IMO is useless unless you have a really nice pair of speakers.

 

[fuz_master]

well maybe he is getting a nice pair of speakers

 

[RockyZ]

Are you overclocking or not?

If not, then I don't see how you can spend less than 2000 dollars.

 

[slick_tech15]

Well you should get a nice pair of speakers and soundcard, that really makes a gaming rig nice IMO. If i didnt have 5.1 speakers, that would suck.

 

[reggie_da_man]

5.1 is the best for gaming. It makes you feel like your there, you can hear in what direction people are comming. If you are getting a decent pait of speakers you could go ahead and get a soundcard, it's just I think onboard sound does me fine right now.

 

[slick_tech15]

Even though my speakers/soundcard arent great (SB live 7.1 and Creative p580's), it still sounds amamzing.
