just bought new comp

[phoenixmatt]

sup everybody, havent bought a new comp in awhile so i just did because i decided to get back into the computer gaming world like i used to do back in the day. ordered it from cyberpowerpc.com heard alot of good things about it. i decided i wanted the 939 pin as well as a pci express motherboard, ive always stuck with AMD and radeon videocards. so heres the specs fellers:

CPU: (939-pin) AMD(TM) ATHLON(TM)64 3200+ CPU w/ Hyper Transport Technology ~ CAI107 [+50]
MOTHERBOARD: (939-pin Socket) Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 nForce4 Chipset MB w/ LAN, USB2.0, IEEE, & AUDIO
MEMORY: 512 MB (256MBx2) PC3200 400MHz Dual Channel DDR MEMORY [-79] (Corsair XMS High Performance Memory w/ Heat Spreader [+28])
VIDEO: ATI RADEON X600 XT 256MB 16X PCI EXPRESS VIDEO CARD [-17]

im hoping this will last for a long time and that there are alot of possiblities with this setup. obviously i got it to play games ie. hl 2 :😀rool:: will i be able to max out the graphic settings with the cpu configuration i put? thanks guys

You probably won't be maxing out any graphical settings at very high resolutions because of your selection of video card.

i just email cyberpower asked if they can change the videocard to GeForce 6600 GT 128MB so i probably wont hear back from them till monday im guessing but after reading some reviews, gunna definally try to get the videocard changed, thanks for the input guys :thumbsup:

Now i like it 6600gt is a good choice, it will rock now

If you could, try and get them to change you to a gig of ValueRAM, at stock settings it will run great, and shouldn't be too much more expensive than the Corsair you are buying. You will see a noticeable difference in games at 1GB opposed to 512MB. Otherwise the 6600GT is a great choice for that system!
