I'm just curious as to what type of perfomance you could expect from that graphics card setup (Dual SLI Nvidia GeForce GTS 240). I can't find much information on the card by itself, but I have many people saying that it is an overclocked version of the 9800 GT, which is the rebranded 8800GTX, or something like that. I'm confused as to all the rebranding from Nvidia. I'd also appreciate if someone could give me the ATI card that would be almost equal to this card.

If I were you I would build it yourself. It isnt hard to do and there are plenty of tutorials on the web.

I build my first pc some weeks ago and found a really helpfull tutorial how to build your own pc (it's in Dutch), I never knew it was that easy!

Just make sure you dont have any static electricity running through your body :P

Maybe I'll look into it I just don't believe I know enough about computers to do so, but I will indeed now explore that option, thank you.

Thank you UltimateGamer95. Do you know about the newegg option to pay a fee to have them assemble the computer?

give us your budget for your new pc and we'll pick the parts for you.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz - $209.99

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 - $119.99

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 - $69.99

EVGA 896-P3-1257-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Superclocked Edition 896MB - $199.99

Antec TruePower New TP-650 650W - $99.95

TOTAL: $699.91

Now thats the basic for a gaming pc. You still need a mouse, keyboard, monitor, harddrive and DVD Drive.

I'm just trying to show you price differences

Thank you for the links. My budget is around $1,000, but a bit over shouldn't be too difficult to obtain. I've heard that if you buy the parts from newegg there is an "assemble parts" button that charges to put the computer together. I may be completely mistaken about this, but I'm sure I've heard of it before. I'd also prefer a faster duo core processor as opposed to a slower quad core, unless you think it's absolutely necessary, but I've researched and decided that because I won't be overclocking, the duo core is my best option. -About the monitor, I believe I'm using one of the older cables, but I'm not particularly sure. I can look at it more and get back to you. -And to UltimateGamer95, I appreciate the offer, but I doubt that's the course I'd like to pursue, I just don't have to much trust with people online, so I'd rather not take the risk sorry. If you're still willing to offer advice I'd greatly appreciate it though.

I was also curious if I can use my current monitor on my new computer to save some money. Thank you.

My current system: Dimension E520 Intel Core 2 CPU 6300 @1.86GHz NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE 2GB of RAM As you can see my current system is extremely outdated, so my current idea after about a week or so of researching is: Dell XPS 630 Intel Core 2 E8500 (6MB,3.16 GHz, 1333FSB) Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-Bit nVidia GeForce GTX 285 1024MB 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 DIMMs 500GB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache Total Cost: $1,353 The main purpose for my new computer is gaming such as maxing games like Empire: Total War. The price is a bit much so I was curious also as to if it would be enough to downgrade to the model's standard video card, nVidia GeForce GTS 240, 1024MB, because the difference in money is $375. I won't be overclocking anything because I don't truly know how to do so. I've heard good and bad things about Dell these days and the XPS 630 particularly, such as compatibility issues in this system. I've also been wondering about SLI video cards, but I know very little on this topic. Building a computer for cheaper is out of the question because i just do not trust myself to do so. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
