How does this system look? Comes with 19inch monitor with speakers in it. I know the Graphics card is weak so i was looking to get an HD4850, now question is if i get this set up would i be able to add that HD4850 to this?

All this WITHOUT the HD4850 comes for $880. Does that sound good? what do you guys think needs improvement?Anysuggestions will do. Thanks

That's a motherboard for AMD cpus and your cpu is Intel.

Get this P35 Mobo (87$) instead and the E8400 cpu (186$).

Video card is great.

Power supply is overkill for your system. I suggest the Corsair HX 520W.

Edit: And you can save 45$ by getting the Antec 300 case.

Alright i edited my post. Sorry!! Thanks for help guys above me.

Yeah i forgot the optical drive like this Samsung DVD burner (on special at 25$) and a hard disk (Seagate 500 GB 67$).

And if you intend to overclock your cpu, get the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro LGA775 cpu cooler. And buy a couple of additional 120mm fans, a good brand is Scythe.

I wouldnt recommend that. You couldnt add a 4850 unless you upgraded the PSu also since its only 180W. cole_793

WTF kinda CPU does it need then?! and how much Watts does this need?

FFS im gettin pissed cuz first im no good at this stuff, and second theres too many options :evil:

Slimlines are general purpose for easy use. You shouldn't be looking at them at all if you want high-end gaming. The power supply needs to be much, much better to even power a fully-loaded machine with an HD4850. Not to mention there's no expansion slot for a graphics card and the card's probably bigger than the computer. Really, you should just build your own--it's cheaper and it'll actually be a gaming system. We've assisted many more in doing this already.
