>> Which one should I get? <<

I'm in the market for a __________, which one should I get?

Hmm... I give your system an 8/10. Report back with benchmarks when you get that beast built, and good luck!

 

[pjwinkler]

heh a __________ eh? well I'll just tell you what i'm doing (i've written this in so many topics lol)

ok well I'm budget but I don't want budget quality, I basically want the ultimate bang for my buck and after 2 months of review reading and forum talking this is what I've come up with. (btw you have to be ready to wait until the end of janurary at the latest)

My Ultimate Mid-Range Game Rig--------------

Mobo: I'm waiting for the ASUS A8N (not SLI) to hit the shelves, I don't want SLI (read that guys post about poor lost chritmas soul, i put my reason there) and I do want AMD, nForce 4 and PCI-Express.

Memory: I'm either getting Kingston value RAM, Corsair Value ram or PQI Turbo DDR 400 (1 gig)

HD: Seagate barracuda 80 gi 7200 RPM 8 mb cache

VPU: ATI X800 XL (review sounds promising. comes out sometime in january)

those are the main components i'm also getting: case, Antec True Power 430W PSU, CD Drive, Windows XP pro OEM all of this comes out to around 1400 cdn, give or take.

My budget is limited, but I want to make sure and get one that's top quality. :laugh:

Heh. Well, then I suggest spending $X more and getting the __________GT, which I hear is on sale at ZipZoomEgg.

 

[biostud]

Wait 2-3 months, the price will drop when the next generation __________ comes out.

 

[KayKay]

__________SUS or __________-Li or __________ntec. because everyone else says so

Well, I believe you are referring to the 6600GT and ZipZoomFly. I ordered two eVGA 6600GT PCI-E for 160 each

I didn't say ZipZoomFly, but ZipZoomEgg. The __________GT has an enhanced 1.2Ghz LSB, making it a better choice than the Antec __________Max.

No, the WTF model is definitely not the way to go. Good suggestion, though. Personally, I like the __________ NEF much better.
