I would recommend Intel over AMD right now since after the new price cut the Intel Processors BUTCHER the AMD ones for the same price

here is a nice article so you can compare

If you can (100 bucks more)I would recommend a better video card like the 640MB flavor or the Radeon HD 2900XT

so that OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS will do it for under a 100 bucks,

by the way out of pure ignorance does it fit on any case? (well i dont have those tiny cases from 5-10 years ago by the way)

sorry to ask but I am a PC gamer that has already upgraded a couple of timesbut this type of upgrade has really caught me off guard

finally with this all my new high end rig will be complete :D

thanks guys!

Ok so I am getting the 2900XT, now for the new power supply since I need the 6pin connector

how do I know which one is the right one?

someone mentioned that cards dont really use the power they say they need how do I know how much they really use? (no I wont OC)

here is an example...is it anygood for the 2900XT? is has6pin plus the dual 12v

S I am upgrading my Gaming PC, I already have all the other parts but the last thing is deciding the video card

between the

EVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 ($379)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130071

or the

SAPPHIRE 100201SR Radeon HD 2900XT 512MB 512-bit GDDR3 ($389)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102095

according to GS they are some what similar, but because the Radeons drivers dont push it (or something) is not better than the GTS as it was suppose to be

also the 8800GTS needs 400 Watts (my power supply has 450WT) and the 2900XT needs 550 watts and a 6 pin connector so I would have to upgrade my power supply

so which one should I choose the 8800GTS which requirements I meet or the 2900XT that I need to buy the new power supply?

by the way how do I choose the power supply? how many WTs will be enough for the 2900XT? (600?)

Cake hands down! :D

Really, who doesn't love cake!

Well I didnt get the Sony E3 07 Emblemand I did watched it all (even if my connection was laggy as hell) as proof in one part Phil was using home to address some games and he even came out with his character dresses as ratched and he said he was going to flaming dance which I found pretty disturbing, also near the beginning when they were in home I think Phil was asked if he wanted a a burger and he said he wanted to stay fit and only turkey Burger for him (or something like that), also at the end again home it was mention that they were forgetting something and at the end they showed the Killzone 2 trailer.

Thanks hope you can help :)

believe me if you love Zombies like me...you DONT want Dead Rising, i bought it about a week ago (see the icon there on my gamertag, yeah)and let me tell you that the title of the game should be changed to "Frustration Rising", basically all of what could be good in the game is over shadowed by the INCREDIBLYbad things(more details on the overall gamemy blog)

HOPE FULLY dead Rising 2will address those HORRIBLE design flaws

and no Dead Rising is not worth the 400 bucks

I also watched it but got no emblem

as the proof it was requested, one of the questions that was asked by the audeince was if you were forced to play with one specific character and the guy showing the demo said that they were trying to make you able to choose any character in any situation, he also mentioned you could change characters in certain check points during a mission

the guy showing the demo also showed the destructible enviorments with a tank and also mentioned that you could decide not to use the tank cuz you would be "bigger target"

he also mentioned stuff about enemy platoon leaders and if you killed them the enemy soldiers would run scared, also that no battle would be the same twice cuz something about changing AI

EXTRA I also remembered a lot of people couldn't watch it and some people recommend watching using firefox, later someone gave a direct link to the show

That Halo 3 was really an Aprils fools joke that got out of hand :P

 LOL
