This will be my first gaming comp. I do know some things about computer but I have bin out of it for some time now. ( in iraq for the last 14 months) so Im looking into getting a gaming rig ticket# 182675 Im try not to go over 3500 and Ill need a screen because the one I have a home just uses a VGA so I need somthing with DVI or HDMI
Thanks

I fixed a number of issues in your setup, like your motherboard will not support Xfire, etc.
I strongly advise you to get a monitor off the side, either from newegg or any other retailer. You could probably get a better deal on this.
I added 4 year warranty + stage 3 air cooling, dropped eye-candy lights, changed your memory to OCZ instead of Corsair, got you a bigger HD.

PS: You can still go w/ 160gig HD and upgrade later. Edited by Nomak - 12 Sep 2008 at 2:07pm |

drop the sound card if you don't need it. if your resolution is not over 1650 x 1050 you don't need 2 cards. Edited by DST4ME - 12 Sep 2008 at 4:36pm |

ATI Radeon HD 4870X2 2GB should be able to handle lot of things to come in the next couple of years.
