Building a New System

Historical capture recovered from the Wayback Machine · captured 2008-04-02 · 5 posts
So I'm thinking of building a new gaming system since mine is getting somewhat old. I know what I'm doing when it comes to actually building it but it seems as if picking parts is kind of hard. I want to spend about $1000. I picked out all the stuff I think would work well, but I was hoping you techy guys out there could give me some feedback on my hardware choices. Granted that this puts me at about $980 so I don't have a lot more to spend, what do you think?

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Black Edition Processor Model ADO5000DSWOF - Retail (Going to overclock it to 3.10GHz)

Memory: G.SKILL 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5S-2GBPQ - Retail (2 of these to combine for 4GB)

Motherboard: ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail

Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

Video Card: EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

OS: Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Ultimate for System Builders Single Pack DVD - OEM

Obviously I also am buying a case, power supply, cd drive but those have very little influence of the overall performance so I didn't bother listing them.
When you're done, come play WoW, okay?
Already play

I was looking at Age of Conan though, that game looks really fun. I was thinking of buying CoD4 and AoC to break it in.
