I'm gonna update my rig. Any advice?
Future Stuff:
Asus Rampage Formula
Core 2 Quad 9450
Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX (C5 if its not available. Can't afford 1066MHz, plus when OCing it will have to be underclocked, so might as well OC the 800MHz.)
Corsair HX620 PSU
Old Stuff:
Antec Titan 550 Case
Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe
Athlon64 3200+ Winchester
XFX GeForce 7800GTX 512 (550/1700)
Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic
HighPoint RocketRAID 2320 SATA (PCIe 4x)
5x Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB
AOC 2217Pwc 22" LCD /w HDCP
I don't want to buy a crappy graphics card, so I think I should hold off on a card until they invent something good.
I bought my current card soon after the launch date. I was able to run every single game with maxed out graphics, 4xAA, and 16xAF, smoothly for the next 1.5 years.
I don't see the point in buying an expensive card that BARELY runs CURRENT games, and without AA. Especially when it will burn off your right pant leg from the pocket down.
