Hey, new here, first post, but not a newbie to technology.
I'm getting either of these:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Barton 400FSB
256MB Kingston 3200+ RAM
CHAINTECH GeForce FX5900XT 128MB-VRAM ($175)
Hitachi 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
GIGABYTE "GA-7VT600 1394" KT600 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket A CPU
Total AFTER Tax: $592.00
OR:
CASE
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Barton 333FSB (I believe)
512MB Kingston 3200+ RAM
Hitachi 80GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
SOYO KT-600 mobo
Celestia Radeon 9600XT 256MB-VRAM ($162)
Total AFTER Tax: $607.00
Which is better and would give me more bang for my buck? I was thinking the 2800+, all I really want to do is run UT2004 at 10x7/12x6 will all the bells and whistles turned on with around 50-80 FPS, and I want to play FarCry without any lag at medium settings. (High would be preferred)
#1 is caseless, number 2 is not.
