 |
|
The lovely Karakawe recommended these parts, but I am totally unsure about RAM, Hard drive, and sound card.
The hard drive doesn't need to be too beastly. I have a few good-sized games though, but I do not download music/movies on this computer.
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Radeon HD 4850
Asus P5Q PRO
Thermaltake Big Typhoon fan
Can anyone finish it?

Most likely newegg.
Finding out WHERE to buy them from will come later though, I just want to know what I'm getting.

Radeon HD 4850
Asus P5Q PRO
Thermaltake Big Typhoon fan
those 3 are just dumb together...
the fan isn't really neccesary, could get a better fan for less the money
the graphics card makes no sense, its pretty outdated, seeing as how nVidia is coming out agaisnt the x2's from ATI

Seems like the people in my previous thread liked them. So far you're the only opposition :O

| 4850 is a great card for a medium budget right now. it really all depends on what you plan to do though.

I think L4D or The Witcher: EE will be the highest quality game I'll be playing. I also photoshop.

I searched it. Most of the reviews say it's definately not worth the money.
Do you know what that guy was saying when he mentioned nVidia is coming out agaisnt the x2's from ATI
