anyone know if i can change something to cut the price down a bit and won't make much of a difference.. i know most people will tell me the monitor but i kind of want to keep that. And i remeber some1 mentioned this thing at microsoft.com that i should turn on if i have a LCD.. forgot what it was. also if you could, give me links for all updates and drivers for any of the above items.

I know its not the greatest name brand, but 800+ votes and 5*s cant be wrong, plus it gets half a million more colors for over 100 less

I highly suggest you get a 6800 at least, so save up for that if you can..


If you cant...then I guess it looks good.

www.canadacomputers.com only

and yea. i dont care too much about the graphics, i dont need everything high and stuff, medium is fine with me as long as it dont lag. but im planning to get a new card later on anyways maybe a DX10 card.

i dont think you need such a big PSU for so little, your parts arent exactly top of the line, go with the 480Watt Antec TP2, you'll save a bit there.

 

[123Justin]

yea i save 25 bucks... but isnt 70 more watts worth it for just 25 bucks... i just did that so i wont have to upgrade my psu in the future when i put new parts in.

 

[GageMW]

that site doesn't have it but ima try NCIX and zipzoomfly

still not finding it... i would next try for the HYUNDAI B90A

 

[123Justin]

oo no no its alright, because canadacomputers is really close to my house so dont bother going for another site.

 

[GageMW]

ok, im just saying the 940B is kind of a ripoff, get the Rosewill R912E, HYUNDAI B90A, or JetWay M1931TF over it if your on a budget and need a 19" LCD

If your waiting for dx 10, prepare to wait for at least 10-12 months....Like I said I highly suggest you get a 6800 even though you say graphics dosent matter, you wont regret it and you will be happy you did...
