i was planning on waiting for the price drops, i am a student i dont have alot of cash lying around to upgrade dramatically. Well i have ATi X1600XT, 400gb SATAII Drives, NEC 7170A, Coolermaster Centerion Case I have a decent prower supply now, but its a bit on the noisey side when im hittin full loads i mean i brought C&C 3 other day, and everythhing was set to high and it was struggling like crazy my power supply was making more noise than the game so if there is any funds left over a power supply would be nice. Well personally i dont see the point in buying what you know is an overkill, Quad Core is an over kill for me i wouldnt use it to its full capacity, and to be fair i dont have time to wait, i feel like my sempron system is on its way out its just not doin as good as it used to lol...!
