Looks like a great system! Love that huge monitor, and high quality PSU.

If it were me, I see two changes I personally would make.

1. That CPU. If you are strictly looking for a gaming machine, the dual core CPUs are not really the way to go yet. Games are not programmed to make use of that extra core. Instead get a faster single core CPU. The Athlon64 4000 is about the same price as the one you are looking at, and it is 2.4 Mhz. It'll beat out that X2 3800 on pretty much any game there is.

2. Your choice of video cards. Wait and see what some others say, but I think this ONE card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130249 which is even a little cheaper, will beat out your dual 6600GT cards.

HEY THANX A LOT,

YEAH I AGREE THE 7800 256 MB is good, then should i get a dual 7800 268 MB Video cards??

[flavin]

all i got to say is JESUS CHRIST U LUCKY MOFO! if only my parents were billionares.

and one more thing i dont think u need video card cooling

 

[meNOname]

lol....
i have a dell dimension 2400

:knock: :knock: **bashs the crap out of my PC** :knock: :knock:

 

[dady393]

my god what did you do here!

I can get a better performance in games while only having to pay about 1500 dollars.

go here and check these prices:

www.tjdata.dk (denmark)

then get a proper cpu: 3,6 ghz intel petium 4 hyperthreading 2 mb cache + a proper graphic card geforce 6800 256mb ram,then get 3 gb ram + all that you got before then will only have to pay half the price for a better performing pc.

Get dual 7800 GTs.They'll beat the crap out of any game thats out there. Also, get the CPU DonNagual is recommending. That would make ur PC the ultimate gaming machine there is. And keep the cooling systems, u'll need them for ur dual 7800GTs :grinthumb

 

[iluvnug]

I agree with Don to an extent. For strictly gaming in general, the faster single core would be more economical. But for my purposes, I like to do things while I game. The fact that I can utilize the second core to do things while gaming really makes a difference to me. And, it can't hurt to be ahead of the game slightly. Once the dual cores are made a bit more affordable you will start seeing more software coming out that effectively utilizes them. And it may not be that far off the horizon with the new Intel chips coming out. Also, I wouldn't bother with dual 6600 GT's. Just a single 7800 would be more effective and you can always add another 7800 for SLI later. Either way good luck with your build.

I with DonNagaul, but with a budget like that get the 4800+ X2. It does everything. Dual 7800gtx also the best.
