Ok, building my brother a new computer. Needs to run BF2 (Duh) and be suited to run newer games in general. If it can be done, dual core. Let's keep it around a grand, preferably under.
Go!
Go!
How about you go research some information so you know a little bit about computers then build it yourslef....

Not assholes, just people tired reading 50 "I got 1k build me a monster!"
For 1 k you wont be able to get everything,in a couple of days im spending 1k and geting 3 things...
look @ my sig cost me 700 quid. Plays BF2 on all high.
You should've known by now that most of the people on these forums post to be smart asses. Anyways, try this website:
http://www.sharkyextreme.com/guides/MVG … hp/3633106
That site has a list of parts for a value computer that can run anything pretty much every few months. That's Septembers right there and it should really help you the most. I used their Value gaming PC guide from October last year and I can still run just about any game I try at highest settings with no problem, so that computer will be even better than the one I have, it'll be perfect.

2. if ur not gonna help, then just dont post. if uve seen this thread a million times before, then dont read it and go on ur way.
3. ive seen those type of posts before too, which is why i thought i would get some useful information if i made one, not some irrelevant crap.
www.newegg.com
everythings uber cheap, good costumer service, gets there fast.
but if u wait a few months, til after xmas, EVERYTHING WILL BE ABOUT HALF THE COST OF TODAY (for a lot of parts) (which kinda demotes the word everything)

Oh man NewEgg is awesome. They are basically the cheapest around and you get everything so quickly. I once got a DVD burner from them the next day when it was set for standard 5 day shipping. They are definately the site to order stuff from. Also ZipZoomFly is good because they have free 2nd day shipping on just about everything.
Hes american, do they ship to america?~{TPP}~richoxon wrote:

E6300 - $180
Gigabyte DS3 - $140
X1950Pro - $200
2GB DDR2 667 - $215
~500W PSU with dual 12v rails...see below - sbout $100
Seagate 320gb 7200.10 sata2 - $95
That right there is about $930... still need DVD rom and case and heatsink.
You could always go for the Gigabyte S3 and not the DS3 and save like $30 cuz the S3 is almost the exact same board but for only $116
