485741 2006-09-19 10:40:00 add a little more you should be able to buy nVidia 7900GT or ATI x1900GT, with which you may be able to play all the latest games in quite high quality. developer (4447)
485742 2006-09-19 11:24:00 yea thanks for that, just looked at the benchmarks for the 7900gt, they were getting 8k on benchmark05 compared to my brothers 3.5k on his 6600gt, they look great dconline (9267)
485743 2006-09-19 20:18:00 Not bad, but I would deffinately spend as much as possible on the GFX card (not taking any money away from anywhere else though) Personally I prefer nVidia, but any card that has high performance, I would go for the nVidia 7600GT as MINIMUM and the 7900GT as moderate and the 7900GTX as top end... and then SLI!!! :D The_End_Of_Reality (334)

485745 2006-09-19 21:09:00 thanks guys ill order my new pc tonight

amd athlon64 x2 4200 dualcore AM2
gigabyte m55plus-53g motherboard
2gig of ddr2 677mhz ram
kaizer 860 atx 430watt psu
7900gt


i would love to get the gtx model but thats like close to 900 bucks, and i cant afford that, at the moment, but the 7900gt should be great for games likd bf2 and advanced warfare etc.

thanks for the advice guys

They are good.
