Mantra's right.

Stay away from SLI (and Crossfire). Don't go quad core. You won't get the performance increase you're expecting, wanting, or even paying for if you get any at all. Check some benchmarks on tomshardware. You'll be surprised.

As for brands, I'd stick with Intel and nVidia for now.

And for an OS, I'd say 64-bit XP. I wouldn't mess with Server 08 unless you actually wanted to put some work into it and know what you're doing (which I assume you don't).

Wtf?! Always get even amounts of ram. 2gb or 4gb. (and with how inexpensive ram is today, I think 4gb is the only real option) Don't EVER get 3gb of ram for anything.

Yeah, Thanks, I don't know what I'm doing so thanks for the link. I'll stick with Intel and Nvidia, and use that XP x64 and 4 gb of ram. Thanks guys!

Dumb ass.

3GB = 2x 1GB DDR and 2x 512 MB
A computer must have equal number of components in to run properly. Hence 2(1GB) x 2(512MB) = 4 components. I think your head was a little scrambled, or you didn't know that.


Coriander, screw nVidia and Intel. ATI and AMD are the best bet for a GAMING computer right now, not a crap filled one.

AMD Phenom X4 Quad Processor
ATI Radion HD 3870 X2

Those are your best bets.

I've considered being a translator, but I dunno. It feels like a lot of work. If someone gets angry then I have to deal with it, you know? I'd rather just relax.

Heavens forbid! Sure, they're cheap to buy in bulk for companies, but not as personal computers.

What you're seeing in this thread is just a usual group of geeks eFlexing at each other. Nothing to worry about.

The general consensus seems to be an Intel Dual Core, a P35 mobo, 4gb RAM, an nVidia card (8800GT?), and a PSU between 450W and say 700W.

I had decided to go with a 700 watt Psu, and I suppose you are right. Anywho, 'Preciate the help..Now...To make the money...

Yes Yes, I will more then likely go with Mantra's Build, but a Higher PSU.

Just check the components and see if you would even need a higher PSU... you might not.

Ya, don't ever ever say you'll just get a Dell. eFlexing is right Lenny. Like that term.
