hello all.
im in the process of ordering parts to build a computer. I was on here not to long ago asking for help regarding the parts. Everything looked great that was suggested except for the video card. I think it might be a little overkill for what im planning on doing. Basically i only wanna be playing cs:s at this point with new games after dx10.
This is mostly a gaming comp(counterstrike:source mostly), with music/movie storage, creating music, internet surfing.
Heres my setup so far:
mobo: GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
Vid Card - connect3D X1950 XTX 3060 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express x16 CrossFire Video Card
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6600
RAM: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ
HD - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS (Perpendicular Recording Technology) 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
So my question is, what would be a decent to good card that would hold me over till dx 10 cards come out? Basically I dont wanna blow 419 dollars on technology that will be outdated in a few months with things like vista and games. Im trying to save a little money before i order these parts.
Thanks, any help is appreciated.
