New Computer Build

**zyklon** · 01-27-06, 12:25 AM

just scored a new cpu off some guy who was hurting for cash. Its a AMD 64 FX-57 8) . scored it for 200 bucks and its regularly 1000. just installed a radeon x1300 to go with it. I wanna see what 3dmark 2006 has to say

it'll say your x1300 is whack.

your CPU rocks hard, but you'll need better than an x1300 to use it.

the new x1900's.......are god's gift to gaming. That, or a cheaper 7800GTX.

i know the 1900 was right next to it. i was so tempted but i needed a pci express card for the new board and was on a budget

a 7800GT/GTX aint no chump. And they're in the $300-$400 range now. PCI-ex.

No offense, but your FX57 really wants to be with other cool parts. He's just dying in there having to play pattie cake with the X1300.

x1300... today is sad day and we should all pray for zyklon. he has a $1000 cpu and decides he is on a budget for a video card. the 7800gt works wonders for me and you could find one for 300. i am sorry zyklon and i hope for better days!

omg this card does suck

**zyklon** · 01-28-06, 11:40 AM

ok so im selling my old motherboard, Cpu, and video card on ebay to raise money for a 7300 or 7800 nvidia.

7300? That's the same aas having a x1300.

don't spend money if you just want the status quo. a 7800 is worth the extra dollah, and will alos help ensure that you don't have to buy another card in 6 months.
