rebuilding my computer

ddr2 ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227089 good set of ram for the price you will need new ones because your old one's are most likely ddr 1 instead of 2

motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059 great board overclocks well

processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116036 its decent at stock speeds but it overclocks really well you could probaly hit 3ghz easy im not really an expert at overlocking so if just ask around someone will help you on that

powersupply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104954 as long as your not running sli this is all you really need and from what ive heard fsp makes good powersupplies

video card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150264 great video card and from what ive seen on benchmarks droping down to 256mb doesn't that make that much of a difference

total for all of this is $493

Its a little more than I wanna spend but this card looks amazing what do you think?

you can get a single 2gb stick for the a dollar less than the 2 1gb sticks... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231111 ( i am currently using 2 of them.)Hockeyfreak863

Mine is running perfectly at 6-6-6-18. Im getting no lags and it is VERRY fast.(may be because i used to use old DDR before i got my new comp.)

Those are bad timings, and also, running a single stick cuts the memory bandwidth in half because it's not running in dual channel.

About the video cards, the 8800GT 256mb is great for low resolutions and low AA, but don't expect it to run as well as an HD3870 in high resolutions and with lots of AA.

If 200$ is your price range, the 8800GT 256 is good. But if you can spend more, get the HD3870 or the 8800GT 512mb.

Thanks for all the input I really appreciate it
