Ok, WROAW CHALLENGE... GO! - Underdog - 09-16-2008 04:20 AM Looks like i have more funds than i thought, since i'm selling my laptop that i never use. For $1,500ish (give or take a hundred or so), build me the best gaming PC! I'm looking to be able to run WAR well, as well as Fallout 3 when it comes out next month. I just have no idea what goes well with what... I guess I need: Motherboard Processor Hard drive (I'm guessing i'll need more space, just have an 80gig right now) Video Card RAM DVD RW would be nice I suppose but not necesssary (I have a DVD drive and a CD RW) Sound Card not really that important, I can just use the one in my current PC New Power Supply? I think the one I have is 600w, just bought it... not sure how good that is. And to make sure it all fits, might as well get a new tower/fans/etc. And whatever else you deem necessary. I don't really need a mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc... So put on your thinking caps and GO! I'll think of a reward for the winner later. Perhaps fellatio. EDIT: it doesn't have to look badass with a window and led lights everywhere, no one will see it, and frankly i don't give a damn what it looks like. Any plain tower will do fine.

GO! - Womb-Raider - 09-16-2008 08:53 AM well i'd go with an intel quad core a 9800 pretty decent mobo and 4 gigs of ram. ill look it up later with links, fellatio sounds like proper rewards:D Ok, WROAW CHALLENGE... GO! - G3n0C1D3 - 09-16-2008 11:37 AM What company made your PSU? If you're going to go near-high end stuff, I think 600w might be a bit conservative considering what you're going for. Ok, WROAW CHALLENGE... GO! - Underdog - 09-17-2008 05:20 AM is DDR3 a big step up from DDR2? And will both work interchangibly with the same mobo's? Ok, WROAW CHALLENGE...

Obviously one is faster than the other, its just that ddr3 is new-ish and many mobos dont support it yet Ok, WROAW CHALLENGE...
