SuxoR What choice did I have?.. Messages 605 Location TX (Soon CA) Feb 24, 2009 #3 I'm curious to know Hikaricloud how do you think this machine would run?

hikaricloud Golden Master Messages 6,220 Location USA Feb 24, 2009 #6 It would put him over budget, but if he doesn't mind spending the extra 60 ish bucks for it, then he could. I think the 7750 is a great deal right now though.

OP OP stalin90 Daemon Poster Messages 1,371 Location Kansas Feb 25, 2009 #7 forgot to mention he wants a dedicated video card, something like a 9600gt or close to it.
Evolv AKA , gt7sanremo Messages 1,240 Location Harrisburg,PA Feb 25, 2009 #8 This will do: Newegg.com - MSI R4670-2D512/D3 Radeon HD 4670 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards Might as well stick with ATI if he's going AMD.

saltynay Patron Messages 5,149 Location West Coast, Singapore Feb 25, 2009 #9 Why does he want a dedicated vid card? The 790GX is one of the best onboard chipsets
hikaricloud Golden Master Messages 6,220 Location USA Feb 25, 2009 #10 Yeah, the 790GX is pretty much almost a 9600GT anyway, it should be fine...
