| 808608 | 2009-09-10 10:22:00 | Thats your budget gaming system ??? ****. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 808609 | 2009-09-10 10:27:00 | To me it looks like it will fly. But other people might have actually used the gear you looking at and might have a different story. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 808610 | 2009-09-10 10:35:00 | Get the E8400 rather than the the E8500.. What brand is the PSU. 850w is overkill. 600-700w will be enough Get a Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro instead for an air cooler. Blam |

| 808611 | 2009-09-10 11:43:00 | eventually ill get two GPU's on sli thats what the PSU is for, "To me it looks like it will fly" what do you mean? | smithinator (15240) | ||
| 808612 | 2009-09-10 11:44:00 | eventually ill get two GPU's on sli thats what the PSU is for, "To me it looks like it will fly" what do you mean? A budget PC is considered to be cheaper than $1000, the parts you listed are well over $1200 new |

| 808613 | 2009-09-10 11:45:00 | Forgot to mention when i say budget i mean i'm on a budget that i cant go over, not everything must be as cheap as possible. | smithinator (15240) | ||
| 808614 | 2009-09-10 11:47:00 | Downgrade to a 600W Corsair or Antec, and to an E8400, then get a 4870 instead of teh GTX260. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 808615 | 2009-09-10 20:43:00 | "To me it looks like it will fly" meaning it should handle most things that you throw at it fine | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 808616 | 2009-09-10 21:10:00 | eventually ill get two GPU's on sli I wouldn't bother. performance gains compared with cost is minimal. Better to get the best GPU you can, now, and budget on other parts instead, that don't matter. |
