NEW GAMING RIG HELP

[nachota1987]

hi guys, im going to build a gaming rig..

heres what ive come up to by now:

Intel Core Quad 8200 2,33 mhz
Asus P5KPL- AM Chip G31
Sapphire HD 4850 512 mb
Combo Biswal 9803 600w
GRABADORA DVD 22x
Disco 320gb SATAII
2 x Kingston DDR2 2 GB (800)

i ve a 17¨ monitor and im thinking on running all the latest games (crysis warhead,fallout 3, gta iv, far cry2,etc) in the highest settings

im also looking forward to be running starcraft 2 and diablo 3 in the future

what do u think?
i know the mobo is a little old but the new ones are too expensive where i live and newegg doesnt ship here :S

First things first, what is your budget? And what things do you already have that you do not need (OS, mouse, keyboard, etc)? After you tell us this, we can all help you out! Thanks

If you want a quad for gaming then I would recommend basing your build off of a PII 940 build, you will get more for your money.

+1 on thekids suggestion phenom II 940 FTW

What the others said, and a big NO on the power supply.

BUDGET RANGE: 700-900

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: GAMING XD

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: none since they dont ship here

OVERCLOCKING: maybe in the future

- whats wrong with de psu?
- so phenom II is better tha intel quad? i think they are much more expensive too though
- what do u think about the hd4850? the other option i had was the 9800gtx+, but i prefered the 4850

- Go with q6600 is a way better quad because the q8200 has a poor 4MB Cache.

- You should get a name brand for your PSU! You might fry you comp with a faulty psu... happened to me OCZ GameXStream 600W is what I recommend...

for the rest of the components:

mobo: ASUS P5KPL-CM

what about this psu?

its a antec 500W

That one is better, but I would get an Antec earthwatts 500w instead.

Intel Quads are better performance wise, but you get a lot more for your money from Phenom II x4.
