are these good?

Is this a good power supply?

and

Is this a good video card?

PSU looks good, but not so much the vid card.

May I ask why you are going with CC instead of, say, Newegg? Do you have a huge giftcard?

 

[andy345]

I have a giftcard and their is one really close to me so i could get it soon instead of waiting for it to be shipped.

And why dont u like that video card. I dont want to spend too much money on it.

The video card is way overpriced for what it offers. The X700 benchmarks lower than the 6600GT, which is about 150$ or less on newegg.com. I'd say use the rest of the gift card on a really nice mouse and keyboard, maybe some x-530 logitech speakers or something.
I'd get the powersupply you mentioned, and this:

Mouse

or

Speakers -

or

and maybe a sound card

or

but that's just me.
Or if you only want to get a graphics card and powersupply, maybe get the psu at circuitcity, but if you want a good graphics card that's worth it, definately shop at newegg or a different computer online store. The 6800GS and 6600GT are perfect alternatives which are just above and below your price range, both greatly exceeding the power of the x700.

yeh i agree with PcMe with the video card being way overpriced.. definately go with a 6600gt or a 6800gs because its cheaper and you get more performance for the price you pay.

 

[andy345]

I just recently got a new sound card and speakers and a mouse so i dont need those things. And is their a good graphics card on circuit city that any of you would recomend?

 

[BlkShdw88]

umm not really its all too overpriced i think some of these prices are the same as what we can get our stuff for here in australia. (it should be about 30% cheaper.)

 

[andy345]

Price isn't really a huge issue. I just want to be able to play games like quake 3 and 4, wolfenstein, half life and other games like that. Don't you think that the ATI Radeon X700 would be able to play those? At the moment I have a nVidia GeForce FX5700LE 256MB video card and want something thats better.

Also the X700 is only 10$ more on circuit city than it is on newegg

 

[andy345]

Any Help/Suggestions/Opinions on my last post?

 

[PcMe]

Hmm well if price isn't an issue get this:
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/EVGA...31590/catOid/-13043/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
One of the best video cards out there.
Or yeah, if you REALLY need to buy from circuitcity and you don't want to spend 350$ for a 7800gt, get the x700pro. But I bet you'll be looking to upgrade not too soon after.
