Building gaming PC

It shouldn't be that heavy. The only ones that would way more, would probably be the case, power supply, and hard drive.


edit: Off topic but....hey, midn1gh7...You might want to make your sig smaller. I think it's too big. The rule is 8 lines of text bigger than size 1, with a graphic. You have 10.

ok, but aria.co.uk does not have some of that stuff.

btw should i get 8800gts or 8800gtx, or what card is best if i wil be plnning to use games like bf2, cs:s, company of heroes and when it comes out crysis and cod4, both on maximum settings?

I don't personally think you will be able to max out those games without a GTX. Even then, it might be a little short depending on what res you are going to be playing at. Time will tell though, the games aren't out yet and nobody knows how either of them will run.

and btw since i dont think i want to use vista(i want to use xp because i dont like vista), shouldnt 4gb be ok?

so what should i change so i can get maximum performance

You don't need 4GB of RAM to get maximum performance. 2GB is more than enough as we've said, time and time again.

2GB is good enough for a daily computing or gaming system. 4GB is only required when you're doing some video editing or photoshop or whatever.
