try using monarch computers to build your comp instead; thermaltake sprano (85) , ocz modstream 450w, amd venice 3000+ box version venice, a gig of corsair twinx (113), dfi lanparty (117), no HSF (boxed version comes with one), 160gb wd sata hdd (110), nec 3510a dvd-rw, evga 6600gt, windows xp home, you get free hl2 and css, free farcry, free crapster, and a brand new built by professionals, everything tested to work, kick-ass computer for $1032

x64 has all beta drivers, lots of compatibility isses, none of the games utilize 64bit, etc.

then hop over to newegg/zipzoomfly and grab yourself a floppy if u need one, keyboard and mouse, and a modem if u need one and www.frozencpu.com and get yourself a pair of cathode light glowing things
 
Well it's decent, but as said you could do better, expisally if your building yourself

This is the top changes you should look at
DFI Lanparty Ultra-D Motherboard
AMD 3000+ SKT 939 *VENICE CORE*
2x 512 Meg TWINMOS or what DiabloII said
 
Lose the speakers (if you need more money)
and get a decent PSU the one that comes with a case is probably crap
 
Don't get the x64 edition of Windows XP. The driver support is terrible for it right now, and will run your 32-bit games worse than the 32-bit version. Just get Windows XP Professional 32-bit. Then you can upgrade later after there is 64-bit software and there are better 64-bit drivers.
 
DJ Chris- cant get the DFI Lanparty Ultra-D Motherboard cuz this site doesnt offer it, and u cant NOT get a motherboard, so it would end up costing me double =(
how can u tell which CORE the processor is? AMD 3000+ SKT 939 *VENICE CORE*

Kadahaf- the cool thing about those speakers is they only are a 3 dollar add on.. and they are 600 watt lol
and for the PSU im getting the THERMALTAKE 480WATT POWER SUPPLY as an upgrade instead of the case one

desiboi- cant get the 6800 GT cuz that costs 231 more $$$ and im trying to keep this budget/good
 
...there's also the option of getting an SLI motherbaord and then u can add another 6600gt later.....right?
