That's retarded though. Why would you get XP at full price and then get Vista in 2 months for full price when SP 1 is released? Might as well just get vista now.[TUF]Catbox wrote:
And wait till the patch for Vista... until then XP is the way to go...not hating...lol
I'm assuming he already has XP... Vista will be good eventually... Right now its not completely done...Poseidon wrote:

Why would he go with a 65nm CPU for 200+ dollars when 45nm quad cores are coming out in a month for almost the same price that the C2D's now are?theknuck wrote:
get an e6750 like me. there's $100 in savings there. use that to upgrade to 8800gt. find a cheaper case, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6811119115 , decent and with the money you saved get a power supply. if your running one video card, 500watt-550watt is plenty. i bought a rosewill 600watt modular design over a year ago for like $70 and it has not failed yet. then later on, i recommend upgrading your case to something flashier if you need it. but hey, this will at least get you gaming without having to save more.

I don't see any bashing there. I just don't understand why you're telling him to get an E6750 when there are better dual and quad cores coming out for the same price (and less) then the Q6600 is now.theknuck wrote:

I just built a new system with this case. it moves alot of air and not at all loud like I thought it would be.[TUF]Catbox wrote:
The Antec 900 case is a great case... It moves a lot of air to keep things cool... and I would definitely get an 8800gt... the 8600gt is a lot less powerful... get a good power supply also... And wait till the patch for Vista... until then XP is the way to go...not hating...lol
I would go for the cheaper of the gt's, non-ocbr4vo.f0xtrot wrote:
two more questions:
There are so many 8800GT's on newegg that i dont even know which one to pick. i have $300 left to spend on one, any suggestions?
also, the case im getting has one 120mm fan in the back, is that enough to keep everything cool? or should i buy an extra fan?
thats it, thanks in advance.
EDIT switched from 2 x 1GB sticks of RAM to 2 x 2GB of A-DATA
EDIT 2: im probably getting vista 64bit but which version should i get?
