priced 1600 and below

i want...nvidia 6800 sli graphics card...

LOL.

not sli, but i want a decent card, come on dont be mean

 

[chickenfoot]

Do you want a DIY computer or one you can buy online for under 1600?

 

[emeraldice]

DIY=do it yourself - it means you're building your own comp

Sry man, Decent SLI costs about $1000 dollars...and I have problems w/ it, so i really discourage it.

but don't get discouraged, $1600 can get you a lot.

Yeah, it can get you a lot. Is this the "box" only or monitor, keyboard, etc...too?

damn it guys, just help

AMD64 3200+ Venice (retail box)
DFI lanparty ultra-d
1gig twinMOS ram
NEC 3510A dvd-rw
OCZ powerstream 500W
2x eVGA 6800GT

dunno how much that would cost

 

[aspire]

AMD 3200+ Venice $195
DFI lanparty ultra $140
eVGA 6800 ultra $480
1 gig corsair or ocz platinum $140
200gig seagate $180
CASE: Thermaltake, Lian Li, Antec $150
PSU: ANtec Neopower $110

Total comes out to about $1400
add in new cpu heatsink, fans, shipping, cables, comes out to about $1500

too much unneccesary stuff

ultra --> GT
ram --> twinmos
200gb--> 80gb sata seagate
case --> cheaper one, around $70
neopower--> powerstream

then he can upgrade to dfi SLI and maybe get another 6800gt

 

[aspire]

ya but he really dont need the second gt
and the non sli board can be made into sli modded
also i didnt know what he need the comp for
and all my prices were guesses
he can find lian li cases for 80 bucks
ultra is bette than gt and not to much more money
sli is crap not worth it
80gb sata is small if he has lots of dvd's and music or has lots of stuff on his pc
