I've only built a barebone kit before, so it came with everything and I had help building it. But now I'm on my own :0

Please guide me as to EVERYTHING I need (not just parts, but screws, heatsinks/cooling, paste, etc.).

Here's what I'm thinking:

E8400 CPU, will overclock.

Single GPU (HD 4850).

Small HDD

Case - I don't care as long as it has GOOD AIRFLOW

Cooling: Fans only. No liquid (budget).

RAM: 4GB , probably DDR2 1066

No need for DVD burner/CD burner/monitor/keyboard/mouse - I have those.

I'm not sure what mobo to get: P43 or P45. I won't do Crossfire or SLi, but I want to OC my CPU.

P45 mobos have DDR 1200 RAM standards; I can only afford DDR2 1066 ->> will this slower RAM work on P45 mobos?

How do I cool my CPU/GPU? I need a good OCing thing for CPU.

Thanks guys

Is MGS4 and MGO the same game??? i have heard people telling me hat they are seperate games, and on gamespot there is MGO and MGS4. so when i buy mgs4, will i get the MGO?????RockPwner

MGO is bundled with MGS4 on same disc.

Can anyone answer my question?

Did anyone notice random artifacting in the cutscenes?

Especially on snake's octocamo suit. It flashed yellow and negative for brief moments throughout the game. (this was only in the cutscenes I believe, the shoulders were the most to flash negative or yellow). I have a 20GB PS3, if that helps.

[QUOTE="NamanOWNSyou"]PC games on PS3? Not possible. Licazinha

Yeah, but what you can do is play PC games on the PC with the PS3 controller.

Yes...but that's not relevant to OP's question. :P

I don't think so....GEMINIVice

You don't think they stopped hardware emulation or they don't use hardware emulation. Sorry, my question is a bit redudant.

Its probably gotta stay under 2 grand.

I've looked for this 8800 GTX, and I can't find anyone who makes a laptop with it in it.

And, basically, from what I've gathered, they kept the centrino name. But if it has Txxx in the description, it is the mobile version of the Core 2 Duo processor. Is this correct?

imprezawrx500

that's because there is no 8800gtx in laptops. but there is a 8800gs which is much better than the 8600gt/8700gt

Yes there is. Go config an m15x or m17x and it's there. $500 extra, but it's there. All 96 stream processors of it!
