So will this handle all the newest games (lookin good not max) and be able to make upgrades later? Im seriously thinking about getting this unless somebody can think of something better.

There is nothing wrong with that build at all...I have a similar (expect my CPU would be slower than that wolfdale) and i already can play CoD4 at the max etc. The 8800GT is a great card for not much at all. if you want to spend some extra money for a little better gaming then the 8800GTS (G92) which is around 60 bucks more is even more powerful.

It will run every game so far released at good settings (including Crysis), and you can always upgrade to a new graphics card in the future.

Prices do seem to have fallen on the G92 8800 GTS so that's also an option.

 

[monster12348]

Um well Ill spend 1000 like right here right now lol so id like maximum advanced parts I can, and by the way Im scared of when I have to build it honestly

 

[monster12348]

So I guess Id get that rig and that extra $60 more for that 8800Gt or watever lol. Anything else? Id still have 120

 

[Sora]

That 120 is for your case....you could go with a really good and sturdy one for around $45 bucks but it's not the most flashy and put that money again into better parts. Or you could get a pretty flashy one that is good considering you will probably want to show it off to your friends if you are 15.

 

[monster12348]

Um Id get the sturdy one for 45 and the rest would probably be shipping lol so thats it right there, A $1000 Rig for me to get, I hope it stands a long time if I upgrade the graphics card every once in a while
