Sup, Building a New Custom System with a friend, Mainly for School, Graphics use (photoshop and such) And GAMING
This is gonna be a christmas present and I can spend 1000 dollars on everything...Im looking to spend about 800-900 on the computer itself...I already have a KeyBoard Mouse Printer Speakers and the peripheral BS
So Here is waht I'm lookin at so far...I'm hoping to not have to upgrade for a WHILE, so let me know if I'm on the right track, especially video wise...
Western Digital 80 GB HDD-75.00
Lite On 52x32x52 Cdrw-38.00
Lite on 16X DVD-33.00
Amd Athlon Xp Barton 2500+-90.00
Ati Radeon 9800 Pro- 303.75
Asus Mobo A7N8X-X-82.00
Kingston Hyperx Ram 512mb x2-192.00
DreamerII Shadow Tracer case And 350 watt psu-67.00
TOTAL OF=880.00
So Basically The 2500+ with 1024mb hyperx ram an asus mobo and the 9800 pro 128mb
Should I save up a little money of my own And get the 256? I am in no mood to buy the xt...just too rich for my blood at this point, and the only game looking to REALLY use it at this point is Half Life 2...So, is the 9800 pro 128mb the best card for me?
