What to get?

[Messiah62]

In the beggingin of june my water cooling system leaked. The cpu waterblock was defective and after a month thermaltake is finally reimbursing me with 415$ for the broken parts. I just want to see what the anandtech people think i should get. I play games like battlefield 2 and soon to be battlefield 2142.

Old Specs:
Amd64 3200
2gb corsiare value
x800pro 256mb

Currentily inspiring on getting
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 ULTRA-D nForce4 ( maybe is there anything cheaper that would be good)
Amd 64 3800+ ( 109$ at monarch )
X1800gto/xl/xt/gto2 or 7600 series card

What would be teh best for me to get?

Thanks

the ram survived?

 

[Messiah62]

yes the ram survived, it just dripped down onto the graphics card, i was playing battlefield 2 and the block just started leaking, thankfully gravity carried it straight down just onto the graphics card not damagaing anything else other then mobo/cpu/graphics card

Huh? How could it have damaged the ram anyways? So why are you only getting $400 for that combo?

Theyere giving me :

100 back for cpu
65 for mobo
250$ for the gpu - awsome trade lol
