Im building a bare minimum cpu for my 12 yr old brother for his B-day/Xmas....but have had trouble deciding what Vid card to get for him.

choices

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDe ... 231&depa=0

or

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDe ... 198&depa=0

He wont be doing alot on it...mostly school work, maybe surfing the internetz, and playing 10 dollar jewel case games like deer hunter and marine jaxsun sniper...so he doesnt need some uber-1337 super system

when he does go online its usually http://www.nick.com, http://www.miniclip.com and yahoo launch to watch music videos...

any input would be appreciated..

Goin into competition with intel and amd, building your own cpu's eh? eek:

Fix zee links so we can see the cards.

[TonyMontana]

a bare one, im guessing a GF 5200m or GF4 mx440

[Poseidon]

yea a mx440 will be fine - it runs most of my games fine.

prolly a amd 2000+ should do the job too (about a 1.6ghz) and 512mb ram should be fine.

Don't buy a MX-440 unless he wants to play games of the past. It won't run games such as MoH:PA, so I doubt it would even have a chance of running Halo2 when it comes out on PC maybe 1 year from now.

Well the Nvidia vs ATI is debable. The are pretty much dead even at high and low end - with mid going to Nvidia.

AMD is beating Intel across the board.

And Crotchpirates are far better than Asspirates.

Intels still faster at video encoding last time i looked at some numbers, so if it comes down to someone that wants fast video encoding, then intel > amd.
