ripken204 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 well it will be tuff for that price...e6300, some value ram, 7300gt/7600gt...
nmX.Memnoch Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Might even have to drop back to an E4300 and 1GB RAM.
pckiller00 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 With that budget it's going to be toughBut for a VC, definitely a GeForce 7600GT look to the XFX line for VCs, go with the XXX edition if u can, they're pre-overclocked and XFX makes good card that are covered by their double warranty. I haven't had an XFX card die on me yet
TravisO Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I know there's always something better coming out tomorrow but....Nvidia is releasing their affordable line of DirectX10 cards in March, the 8300 line which will cost about $99usd. Heck if you want just DX10 support, there will be a $70usd model too.You can read about the upcoming cards at: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=37205Also, I agree you probably can't get the setup you want. I'd say buy a 1gb ram chip for now (don't get two 512mb for dual channel) and save up for the extra 1gb and but it when you can. 2gb is a must for power users, but 1gb is still pretty good for Vista.
puntoMX Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Nvidia is releasing their affordable line of DirectX10 cards in March, the 8300 line which will cost about $99usd. Heck if you want just DX10 support, there will be a $70usd model too.Don´t forget that those are not the street-prices, think about 30-40% more (incl. Tax that is) but still it would be nice cards for the price.@ some1,What screen do you use now? And are you going to play for example BF2142 or Unreal Tournament 2007 in the near future?
nmX.Memnoch Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Unreal Tournament 2007It's been renamed to Unreal Tournament 3.
Jeremy Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I hope someday Valve will redo HL2DM. But I'll be waiting 10 years for that...They delayed HL2E2 from last fall to 2007 Spring, then Summer and now Winter 2007. bastards.
