[quote="Sniped Ur Azz":cc184]Ok now to reply lol.

Thanks for the comments, the thing is I am buying a rig that I can upgrade with...so the 256 is ONLY a temp solution for about a month, then I will upgrade to at least a gig, the thing is, I am limited on money at this point in time, so getting a butt load of memory is senseless seeing as I can upgrade that part of the PC at a lower cost then buying a new CPU or vid card would. As far as the mobo, its a nice one, I allready own a Custom made (and yes built myself) that has an ABit IS7-G and its GREAT, I love abit and I will stick with them. About the case, It appeals to my taste and I enjoy it, wont change that. The PSU will prolly be changed at a later date, not too concerned with it, so long as it adequately supplies power where power is needed without the cost of high heat. Reason why I am getting a prebuilt one, akuma, is because the cost of the hardware drops HARDCORE when you do so, if I were to buy the parts and build it myself, it would cost MUCH MUCH more. This way I get discounts (major ones) on the parts I need to be discounted. I never liked AMD, so I will NEVER go with one, Nothing but Intel and Nvidia.

But like I said, I am open to suggestions, akuma, if you think there is a better way to build thid (using Intel and Nvidia) lemme know, I am open to it.

Keep in mind guys this rig was compiled with the mindset that I will get a decent one to begin with, then upgrade as I get paid

. Thanks for input and look forward to more. And keep in mind I am on a $1,300 budget.

P.S. How well (be honest) do you guys feel that this rig will run current and upcoming games such as Doom III, Farcry, Of course Battelfield 2, and F.E.A.R.?

P.S.S. I also forgot, guys anyone know (can explain) which is better/efficient to have for gaming processor wise... 1066 FSB or 64Bit or Higher Cache?[/quote:cc184]

dude first of all, you want a gaming rig correct? you will see much better gamig performance with an AMD, intel is not as good for gaming. trust me, i own both. you will need more than 256mb of ram, even if you iwll upgrade it at a later time it will piss you off as soon as you get it because everything will load incredibley slow, your fps will drop incredibley low too. and buying individual parts is in fact considerably cheaper then having it prebuilt. whoever told you getting it from a company is cheaper is bullshit.

i know i have an alienware, and it was more expensive then a custom built one, but im not complaining. just saying that you are wrong in your statement. i hope you will reconsider some of the statements you said, as you will be better off with quite a few changes.
