here is the system i just built

asus m2ne-sli motherboard
amd athlon 64 x2 4400+ dual core

western digital 320gb sata drive
samsung dvd burner
xfx geforce 8600gt 256mb ddr3 video card
case

if you want links to the products let me know. the thing runs like a beast on bf2. if you want to play all the latest games you might have to spend a bit more.

Did you get that at newegg? What case and Power supply?

**Graverunner** · 10-15-07, 08:54 PM

MoufRoof, If you could send me some links, that'd be awesome. I'm building a rig right now, and I didn't think I could ever get it that cheap.

**money$$$$** · 10-15-07, 10:22 PM

Yes post some links please.

If your goin for a cheap video card, at least get a good cheap video card.

Get this, its worth the extra bucks:

I would also get a slightly bigger power supply, look for a cheap 500w or 550w. I'm no specialist, but everything else looks preaty good.

You dont need more than a 400watt Power supply, so that one is probably fine unless your planning on upgrading a lot of your components, and I agree with getting the more powerful GTS version of the card if you can afford it.
