The same here. everything on max, 1600x1200 with HDR or Bloom. Runs verry smoothly 95% of the time. But I prefer to play it on my xbox360 instead. My RIG: 6600 2.4@2.6 GHz 2048 DDR 2 7900 GTX Extreme Edition
The problem will be not your PSU, but the rest of your future hardware, if you are planning on buying 8800 GTS or 8800 GTX. 3800 X2 is not enough for these cards. You should worry about upgrading to C2D or getting a 4600+ X2 instead. So you won't get a maximum performance of your GFX unless you get a faster CPU.
MY RIG: C2D 6600 2.4 GHz Asus P5B-E Plus 1 GB DD2 667 7900 GTX Extreme Edition
I am going to trough up, 7600 GS, 7600 GT. I have no idea how poor the people are in US, but if you have got a job or under education working, you can afford a decent pc system. This topic is fun.
Come on think again. You must be joking. You should really get a new pc, if you want to play this or last years games. The pc that you own or making an empty thread about, tells us how much of a pc gamer you are. If you want to be the one, then 200 backs wont save you, you will need 1000 at least.
[QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05"]E6300 is my next proc and they hit 3.2ghz+ with ease, but if you don't want to do that then stick with the E6600. Try to find the Asus P5B-Deluxe, it should be cheaper. Go with the Corsair RAM, but if not OCing then it doesn't really matter. I'd save some cash and then buy a new video card since that's most important for games or maybe a new monitor to show off that eye candy :D I can't see the point in OC'ing the hardware to save money. I have tryied it with almost the same rig as you have and I think the wise choise would be, to get a cheap but good motherboard. One more thing, I have two monitors, 22" and 19" + I have my LCD TV that I use sometimes as a monitor.
I am going to order some parts for my new pc tomorrow, but I am not shore what should I get for around 1K. Mainly I want to know which motherboard, cpu and ram should I get. The rest of my system is more then ready for an upgrade. Have in mind that the parts costs a bit more in Denmark. Hope you can help me out. P.S.: Know nothing about OC.Setup 1: ~850$ Asus - Commando, Intel P965 Core2Duo (Conroe) E6600 2.4 GHz Kingston 2x1024 MB DDR2 PC5400 DDR2-667 Setup 2: ~850$ Asus - P5B-V, Intel G965 Core2Duo (Conroe) E6600 2.4 GHz Corsair - Twin2X 2x1024MB DDR2, PC6400 DDR800The problem is, should I get a cheap motherboard and better RAM or the other way around. I can get 4 GB DDR2 PC5400 for almost the same price as 2 GB Corsair DDR2 PC6400 (or faster). I don't want to buy a budget CPU like E6300, 1.866GHz and try to OC it. Do you have any ideas or maybe a complete new setup, which will be good for me.Everything else: 7900 GTX Extreme Edition (no point in upgrading yet) a very good PSU. What do you think?
CS:S (for noobs) or CS 1.6 (for pro's and cheaters, course they have no idea how to play) In the end it's not about the graphics at all, it's all about the game play. BF2 you don't really have any control of the game. You just run around, shoot and die. If you are more into death-match, then you should play Quake 4 instead. In CS:S you can kill much more easer, than you think. The only thing with both CS versions, you have to know the map: every corner, every wall, every brick, before you can really get a feel of the game. It's not about how many shuts you take, it's all about taking one (or two) perfect shut to take your opponent down. CS has also a warcraft3mod, that I love the most, but I get banned a lot when I play Undead.
