Here is what I think I will be getting in my new PC I am going to be gaming with it, but I don't consider myself a frame rate or graphics whore. I want to be able to play the game at standard settings with playable frame rates.
I plan on purchasing the system after July 22 - once the intel price cuts hit... or maybe when the intel bearlake chipset comes out
does anyone know when that is???.
I also do not want to go direct X 10 right now because I personally do not want to invest in a first gen dx 10 card -- especially since I am not keen on buying high end video cards. I also don't see the current midrange offerings from nVIDIA, and possibly from ATI, being able to play dx 10 titles that well in a couple of years. I figure a midrange 2nd generation dx10 card will be a better choice for me.
So here it goes....
Motherboard: Newegg.com - ASUS P5B-Plus LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
GPU: Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100199L Radeon X1950GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail
PSU: Newegg.com - Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 ATX12V 550W Power Supply with Three 12V Rails 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, FCC, TÃœV, CE, C-tick, CCC, CB - Retail
CPU: Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail
RAM: Newegg.com - WINTEC AMPX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
Sound Card: Newegg.com - Creative Sound Blaster SB0570 Audigy SE 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Retail
I already have all the other necessary parts in my house, so this is all the extra stuff I will need.
