Hi All
First time builder
Primary use will be Gaming: Usual games I play are BF2 and COD4
I am trying to come up with a rig to play these decently.
The Idea is to get the basics right and then leave room to expansion in the future.
Here's what I have till now.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80569Q9550 - Retail
Model #:BX80569Q9550
$229.99 -$10.00 Instant $219.99
CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5C - Retail
Model #:TWIN2X4096-6400C5C
$59.99 -$5.00 Instant $54.99
Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM
Model #:WD6401AALS
$74.99 -$5.00 Instant $69.99
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Model #:GA-EP45-UD3P
$134.99 $134.99
Subtotal: $479.96
So that makes it about $500
This is the case I like Alien Case at Xoxide
So now I dont have any money for a graphics card
Do you guys think I shd cut down on the processor and get a good graphics card or get a cheap card now and upgrade later??
Am I missing anything?? I have a CPU,Case,Motherboard,Hard Drive,RAM, Power Supply (580W enough right??)
Oh yeah the DVD burner but that shd only be about 25 bucks
any suggestions??
Thanks
Bharat
