i agree with ^^^^ HDMI will give you high def video and audio on a single cord, whereas DVI carries just video, so it depends what monitor/speakers/LCDtv you are using
as for a case, i have Antec 902v3...its not a bad case at all, its already got plenty of fans which u can adjust their speed and some modest blue LEDs that look nice (and have the option to turn off)...its all preference though, i only use one hard drive so that frees up a drive bay so i can have super long video cards if i ever need the space ;) i know a lot of folks like the Corsair cases too
i agree with ^^^^ add 2gb or 4gb of ram..kingston hyperx is really good ram and at a great price and throw a quad core on there and watch the frames per second go up :)
also, i think the requirements for BF3 will be close to the requirements for BFBC2...i'm almost positive i read that a week ago from a very reliable source
[QUOTE="brandontwb"][QUOTE="grf7291"]I'd say use that 500 bucks to upgrade to GTX 570, an amazing card that will last you a while and it competes with the Radeon's 6970 (which is their best single GPU card at the moment) and if I'm not mistaken the GTX 570 beats that Radeon 6970 usually (especially if you game at single monitor 1080p) also, INVEST in a good PSU...i have Corsair AX1200 after i returned my HX850 cuz you may want that extra wattage for a Xfire/SLI setup in the future!I have a Silent Pro M600 600 W, not sure if that's powerful enough for SLI/Xfire. nah i'm afraid its not, one gtx 570 is gonna pull a little over 300w, but hey its an awesome card, you don't have to SLI it...but if you ever decide to, go ahead and invest in a good PSU to power those nice components
yea that's a great deal on that GTX 570! save some cash and don't worry about the RAM...4gb DDR3 should be plenty for gaming i think...also, people love the Hyper 212+, it's a great budget CPU cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
no problem, i agree, well the good thing is that you can upgrade at a fairly decent price...throw 2gb more RAM on there (instant performance boost at low price), and upgrade to decent quad core, and perhaps look into an older Radeon 5xxxx video card if the budget is tight?
