How good is my PC?

And what would the benefit be from such a setup? Medium-quality gaming on a high-end PC? I don't think so.

No, it won't affect it at all. Don't worry about it.

i made my new gaming system last month, E8400, amd 4850, Asus P5Q3 Deluxe ( as it came with WiFi-AP which was a good bundle for me), 4 gb of ram at 1333, and i went with vista 64bit. i havnt had any compatibility problems with it, and as it supports more ram for later upgrades, and only costs a few dollors more seemed like a good option to me.

as for ur cpy choice... either E8400 and E8500 are excellent options, i managed to get my E8400 to 3.6ghz with stock cooling. i havnt had any problems with it. its an excellent cpu.

i have not managed to play crysis on high setting at 1680x1050. and i dont think the 260 would be able to get u consistant 30+ frame rate.

i have played farcry 2 and fallout 3 on max with 4xAA and have not experienced any difficulties.. so i am very happy about that.

It would actually, since the GTX 260 is more or less close to the HD 4870 in performance.

My GTX 280 superclocked eats Crysis for breakfast on 1920x1200, and it isn't THAT much better than the 260.

260 x2

Yeah and anyway my motherboard supports x3 SLi. So when i get more money and the price goes down i will by another one, and then another one and then i will have 3 of them, which equals 896Mb onboard memory *3 = 2688Mb Ram

That will hardly help, unless you were gonna use it for something like Folding.

I am now using a Q6600 Quad Drive which i will overclock with a tuniq tower 120.

Also can Rage or domeboady tell me what type of graphics cooler i would need?

Why would you want an aftermarket cooler for the GTX 280? It already has a dual-slot cooler, and the only decent aftermarket cooler for it, the Thermaright HR-03 GTX, dumps the heat from the card inside the case. It will also make SLI very, very difficult due to the monstrous size of the heatsink.

Its better than mine I can tell you that.

Whh?

Why what specifications does your pc have, is it high end

oh yeah about the wi-fi is there anything rage or anybody else would reccomend for wifi, router

I use a US Robotics 9108 router, and like it. It can't forward too many ports though, so if you're into playing BF2 or any game that requires you to forward more than 30 ports, you should look for another router.

I have a few questions:

1. Can anyone reccomend a wireless controller for the pc (not an xbox 360 one)
2. Can you get DUALSHOCK controllers for computers
3. If I use a DVI, to HDMI adapter on my graphics can I connect it to my HD 32" LCD Television ------1366 x 768---------

As you may have noticed I want to use it as a form of a console at some times so I can sit on a couch and play games, but still be able to play normally

Please answer ALL my question

The PC will perform very good. You may consider buying a quad-core CPU since they are beginning to be the standard although the core duo you picked out won't let you down. Buy a good power supply. :grinthumb

how good is my new decision on motherboad "Abit Pro Xe" it comes as part of a bundle between my ram, cpu, and motherboard. On overclockers.co.uk (apparently an enthusiast bundle)

Rumble Pad 2 Cordless

Abit may be exiting the mobo business, so you might not get any support if anything goes wrong with the mobo. Better buy an ASUS or a Gigabyte mobo, just in case.

Sounds like a solid system. I agree with Rage, Abit might not be a good choice right now. Best go with a different brand. I wonder if you might consider stepping up to a GTX 280? If you want top performance, that's the way to go. GTX 280 or HD4870X2.

yeah but in performance terms how well would it suffice?
and can u recomend any controllers?

LOL dayum what was your total gtx280 and etc

and i'd say get a logitech controller those rumblepads

its not wireless but wired stuff are always better because you get the full connection

its like saying a wireless mouse from a wired one

besides, I don't think their are any wireless ones for pc or i've never seen any

bundle

i checked and you can , anyway:

how about this bundle

same processor (Q6600)
LESS RAM 2Gb 1066 (run 32 bit xp proffesional)
Asus P5N-T Deluxe nForce 780i Motherboard
