Re: First Time Building

MMO addict? Your probably looking foward to The Age of Conan. You will need a decent video card for that game.

P.S. I will find a good build for you alittle later, right now I' am at work and
on a bad computer. If I open more than 2 windows it lags, and if my boss walks in I have to close fast, lol!

Re: First Time Building

Alright this is what I recommend.


Case:
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 - $50
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119068

Processor:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz 4M L2 Cache LGA 775 - $195
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115029

Motherboard:
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX - $95
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128059

Memory:
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 - $66
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231098

Video Card:
XFX GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 - $400
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150215

Drives:
LITE-ON LightScribe Black 20X DVD±R Burner with 12X DVD-RAM writer - $34
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106045

Below $950 altogether.

I suggest you wait for the 8800GT to come out though, it will be cheaper and better than the 8800GTS.
