Budget gaming rig, opinions?
The most graphic intensive games I plan to play are crysis and stalker (probably shadow of chernobyl) I've checked benchmarks and the 4850 handles them fine at high at the resolution I use. I'm pretty much going with these parts but I just wanted to get some more opinions since its always a good idea. I don't plan on OCing anything but I guess someday I -may- look at the possibility.Going to be using my old HD/DVD/CD/KEYBOARD/ETC.

That list looks good.
Only real suggestion would be to get sata dvd and a sata hard drive. That will probably make things a bit easier.

Do you guys think it'd be worth the extra $30 to pick up a 4870?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102810 im worried it wont fit inside my case. Also I wanted to know since im using my old HD would it be possible to completely wipe it clean so I can install vista and use it for this computer? It has XP and other stuff like drivers and such that I don't want/need. I'm not trying to transfer or save any data I just rather not spend another $50 on a new HD when I have one already which is more than adequate. Last edited by Major_Arrow; 03-05-2009 at 11:21 PM. |

personally I would spend the extra $50 on the 900 series case.

I would get the 4870 over the 4850 if you could afford it.
As for the hard drive, you could zero fill it first, and then install vista to make sure you have nothing from the old system left over. |
