My Future Comp. Need INPUT

[BC727]

got a little more of a budget so i had to start over here is what i got from ibuypower. i have some questions,i still havent been able to decide on a case but will these cases be compatible with the mobo, wich one would you pick?(links posted below), are all monitors compatible im getting mine seperate the link is below, and can someone give me a good and compatible power supply at the Watts needed for 40-50 dollars that i can order with the monitor from newegg. dont know how many watts i would need to run my system? ive read the reveiws about ibuypower, some were real good and some were real bad, but IBP tried to fix it and i can always get money back for a year.ive looked at alot of other config sites and they are all so much more expensive then IBP.

and one more thing. about the liquid cooling system that it comes with, how exactly do those work?

How much is this system costing you? That graphics card is really quite dated, and isn't exactly worth buying.

 

[dwarf]

really, the baseline for graphics cards to play modern games at acceptable/playable rates is a 6800, more recent cards are also highly suggested, if you're going to be doing much modern gaming, that's the least I'd suggest.

 

[BC727]

im pay $837.00 for the system with no monitor.

about the graphics card. my freind built his computer and he has a nvidia geforce 5700. and he runs wow and cs and i asked pple if my card would be better then that and they said it is. so ill just use that card until direct 10x comes out. that card will run like medal of honor, cs, wow?


need psu help and case help. thanks

800 bucks for that piece of junk?

Have you considered buying your own? Or do you want one pre-built?

 

[BC727]

no i dont think i could build one. i want to try and get a prebuilt one.

 

[BC727]

do you have any suggestions gurusan?

 

[gurusan]

Ok well if it is going to be for gaming..then you will want to focus on your graphics card and memory (at least 1gb ram).

I suggest taking a look at monarchcomputers.com
Try to get at least a 7600GT....if you can, go with a 7900GT as your 3d card.

or scour the classifieds for a prebuilt/used gaming puter for a real deal
