Ok with my old computer I run the new first-person shooting games at around 10-20 fps. Now its time to bring myself out of the darkages and into a future of 100fps when I game. I am not very knowledgable when it comes to hardware, however, I did some homework and came up with this basic structure for a gaming pc.
Monarch Furia Custom Desktop with SLI
Case: 100159 - NO PS - Antec Performance One P160 ATX Mi
Power Supply: 100241 - PS 550W - Antec True Power 2 SLI ATX 12V
Motherboard: 110255 - Abit AN8 SLi nForce4 Audio/GB-LAN/USB/IEE
Processor: 120273 - AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 1MB 90nm Rev. E San D
Heat Sink Fan: 130122 - AMD Certified Opteron/64/FX Heatsink
Memory: 140252 - DDR (400) 3200 - 1 GB (2 pcs 512) Corsair
Hard Drive: 150939 - SATAII - Western Digital Caviar SE 250 GB
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW: 160014 - DVD±RW - Lite-On SOHW-1693 16x8x16x-DVD-R
Video Card: 190490 - BFG Geforce 7800 GTX OC 256MB GDDR3/PCI-E
PS: I am unsure whether to get 1gig of ram or 2gigs. I also plan on ordering this from and have it built by monarchcomputers.com, is this a wise choice? If not could you tell me some better sites?
Any imput will be greatly appreciated.
