New Configuration

   I made a post a couple of weeks ago and got some feedback in, but couldn't buy at the time because of an extremely tight budget. I need something that can play games from medium to high settings, and can handle most of what I throw at it.

With the black friday deal I'm as eager as ever to buy, but I just wanna make sure what I get is the best bang for the buck. Part is I don't know where I should tweak settings or how big the advantages are over different parts.

These is the build I was recomended

After looking through it thought I've been changing the mobo, cpu, and videocard. I don't know which build would give me the most power or how much more for each one.

These are two I've just been changing slightly.

Anyone know what the best config would be. Would there be any major differences in performance or are they just generally going to be the same. My budget is around the price of the three of those.

	$1891 http://www.digitalstormonline.com/comploadsaved.asp?id=211713 would be best Edited by skyR - 29 Nov 2008 at 2:30pm
