Post Tell me what you think of this system
Hey guys, I know some of you know about gaming systems and was hoping that you could help me decide on a decent game platform. It doesn't have to run the most graphically intensive game at 100 fps. But I would like it to be able to atleast run any game smoothly, not necessarily on the highest graphics setting. Done a bit of shopping around online today and came up with this config which is so far the cheapest for what i have it configured with. let me know what you think. here are the specs...


CPU : (939-pin) AMD Athlon64 3700+ CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology

Mainboard : (Sckt939)EVGA nForce4 SLI Chipset SATA RAID Dual PCI-E
Mainboard w/GbLAN, USB2.0, &7.1Audio

Memory : 2048 MB (512MBx4) PC3200 400MHz Dual Channel DDR MEMORY (Corsair Value Select)

Video Card : NVIDIA Geforce 7800 GT 256MB 16X PCI Express Video Card

Video Card 2 : NVIDIA Geforce 7800 GT 256MB 16X PCI Express Video Card

Hard Drive : (SATA150) Maxtor 250GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Hard Drive

Optical Drive : 16X DVD ROM (BLACK COLOR)

Optical Drive 2 : (Special Price) LG GWA-4161 16X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW
DRIVE DUAL LAYER (BLACK COLOR)

Sound : Creative Labs SB LIVE 24.bit 7.1

Make sure there's no hardware conflict with that nforce4 and that corsair ram. I think I remember reading something about that. I could be wrong, but it's worth looking into.

Badass system, though. Very nice.

by the replies i think i have a winner for a comp. configured it at http://www.buyxg.com it seems to be the best for the price of the several places i checked. the site had the ram listed as able to use with that motherboard so it shouldn't have any conflicts. thanks guys, i'll be getting a nice new shiny comp soon then.
