New Computer Time

It's already been reviewed, benchmarked, and proven to be much better than anything else out there. Try suggesting something instead of shooting down other people's suggestions. He didn't ask to get his money's worth, he asked to get the best available. That's the best available, hands down.

for 2500$ you could put together an almost second to none system theres no doubt about that be it quad or dual core processor and the best video card.

Thanks for all the help guys, I wil start buying parts soon.

I still cant see amd coming back out ontop considering with intel bringing out the 45nm processors that puts amd 2 generations behind instead of just 1. Butzie has a point though the performance gain per $ drops a hell of alot the higher up you get.

but will it run Windoze 98 ??

computers suck, buy an xbox...

Well the best game I can play online is a text based MUD. You're right, there really is no reason to spend that much on bleeding edge for 5 extra fps, best to just get a nice core2duo or quadcore, ddr2 ram, a decent graphics card, although those HDs are pretty tits I suggested (and expensive). We didn't even touch the monitor i just realized

Fuck, you 'd still have ennough money to buy something better than what I have ...
