to quote cyborg from 1000000 threads:
c2d:E6600
gigabyte 6-thingy 965 chipset
2 gigs geil memory
gf 7600gt

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

E6600 is a definetly good card for its price. Dunno about mobo's but i like ASUS. 2 gigs of ram seems pretty solid for today. Also get like a BFG or a eVGA 7900GT and your set for a year or 2.

omg dude, your funny. its a cpu, usualy you dont call it a card.

for the rest go with what max says ninja's know best ;-)

maybe a other video card, and dont budget on fans, get GOOD SILENT fans. or water cooling.

tip 1 : NEVER buy a dell XPS -> Because they are waaay to expansive!

If there is some 1 here dutch :p translate the "best buy guide" of www.tweakers.net because am to lazy :p.

!> Maybe u dont have to buy much... maybe a other a faster motherboard and a new graphic card and some ram! (go for 2 gb i recommend, i need that to :p i got 2x512)!

Go to some electronic shops! NOT a random 1 but 1 where people are that KNOW what they talk about. Not some bitch that things that a expensive things are best.

I hope this will help u

way cheaper than OEM like dell or alienware

to kessel: why do you want sli? are you running 1600x1200 resolution? if not then i think SLI is a waste

kessel!: Peruvian Cocaine; +261|7067|Toronto Canada

Crossfire is shit. And you will want to get SLI then if you want to run it at 1600x1200. Unless of course you spit out the cash for a Geforce 7950GX2.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6814125035

Which of course will pretty much run BF2 at all high no problem.

wait wtf? i run all on high 4 x AA at 1600X1200 with my 6800gt and i still get around 25fps? so if i got a single 7900 gt that would increase fps right?
