After skimming through alot of these build threads and taking advice from others I have come to what I feel is a good computer for around 1000-1300. I would ofcourse like to hear what you guys have to say though.
Geforce 7900GT KO Superclocked 256MB 256-bit
ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe Socket 939
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
(Fry's does a nice combo for 380 for these two)
A gig or 2 of OCZ still not sure
For a case I'm still not too sure. Most likely an Antec performance but I really would like a more flashy case if I'm spending this much, although I would sacrifice that for performance.
I plan on putting this computer together because I am tired of name brand computers that just give you the shaft when it comes to upgrades. I want to be able to buy another video card or a new processor when the technology goes farther rather than a new system. Optical drives and such will all be name brand name and I'll grab it from my local fry's.
