First, my intentions for this build~
I wish to be able to play demanding games such as the Crysis and Stalker series at max (only 2xAA) at 1440x900 on a 19'' monitor. I am running XP 32-bit.
Secondly, here are some further notes about the build~
I have absolutely no intention of using more than 1 GPU at any time with this build. I don't particularly care for overclocking and have had unsatisfying results/failures in the past, so any overclocking that I do with this build will be safe and slight.
Here are the bits and pieces I already own and do not need to improve~
Hard drive, monitor, case, speakers, sound card (I use onboard sound), mouse, keyboard, dvd drive.
Alright here are my proposed parts~
GPU, gtx460
CPU, Athlon II x3 440
Mobo+PSU combo, total $100 shipped- http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.481560
RAM
I chose a 2GB RAM kit because I'm running XP 32-bit.
I just need to know if the RAM,mobo, and CPU are completely compatible. I'd also like to hear about any other RAM selections you think would fit my build well as long as its in a similar price range. Any insights you can provide about the list I've given will be helpful.
Thanks :)
