man i am in a bit of a predictament. My dad is buying us a computer this summer (he has given me the oppertunity to build it) but the only problem is that it is gonna be on a budget of 1200!! I wanted to build a gaming PC capable of playing battle feild 2 (thats the main game) plus stuff like age of empires 3 when it comes out plus world of warcraft ect.
Now 1200 canadian is not a huge amount of money and this is all i could come up with:
DFI Lanparty UT Nforce 4 socket 939-188.99
AMD Athalon 64 3200+ with fan-260.99
EVGA Geforce 6800gt PCI express-465.99
Crosair Dual channel (2x512mb) overclocking Ram ddr400-175.99
Seagate 80 gig hardrive-87.99
Red Dragon case by Ultra w/ 500watt PSU-101.99
That leaves me over budget (total cost 1281.94) plus tax.I dont even know if we need a new monitor all we have is an old monitor from a dell optiplex g1 (its from 1998-1999) it works but it may not be good for games (nto sure if it will ghost)
Also the site (tigerdirect.ca) did nto say what core the AMD was, does it cost more for a venice core? Cause i heard they are good OCing.
And if any one could make me a better one i would appreciate it cuase i onyl have 1200 canadian to work with and i really really want to play battle feild 2 well.
Also it says battle feild 2 reccomends a cpu thats over 2ghz, and the AMD is just above that? Is their any diffrence bewteen the AMD 2ghz and the Intel 2 ghz?? Cause AMD's dont go very high for GHZ wise but their cheaper thats why i got one.
