ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3
1024MB nVidia GeForce GT220

| Aren't they both low profile trash? If you want to bother to spend money get a 4850 at least. If you really have it get a 460. You couldn't play any of those on these cards. CSS maybe on low.

I am currently on a laptop, with 300GB of space and I still have like 150GBs free so 500GB should be more than enough.

Oh, I use a Dell Studio 1747 Laptop and this is my "3rd" HDD, I have 2 externals where I dump the rest of my old stuff into so thats around 1.25 TB total (its supposed to be like 1.32 but you know how it is) space, i've used up 950 GB so far =/ thats why i suggested the 1TB, so if you need more you dont have to buy another expensive external. or a HDD and a separate enclosure

I have a Dell Studio XPS 8000 (previous model)
| Code: | OS: Genuine Windows® 7 Ultimate, 64Bit, English
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-860 processor(8MB Cache, 2.80GHz)
Memory: 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 4 DIMMs
Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce GTS 240 1024MB
Harddrive: 1000GB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 32MB Cache |
I do recommend getting something along the lines of this i got this for around 200 - 300 Used without the Graphics card and Processor and Hard Drive, So i just bought a 1TB for like idk 70 USD? the nVidia GeForce for like 150 and the Processor for around 300.

| If this is a gaming rig you should get a Phenom II core and a good gfx card. They are better on heat and power consumption. Plus the price is way better. I'm currently OCing a Phenom II x4 925 to 3.4ghz. If this is mainly a gaming rig then you don't need to spend out the ass on intel cpu.

I mainly want to stick with dell, primarily because I can customize a desktop without having to actually physically build it, I'm far too lazy to build my own computer.
