It appears that you should be fine..one thing about the case though, is it looks really cheap up close, I helped a friend build a computer a while back and that's the one he got...it just looks crappy. for that Price look for the Antec 900 Also, the GFX card, I would strongly reccomend the 8600 GTS if you've got the money...
ok thank you for the info any other ideas to make it run better for games and would this one be good you think new graphics card
Another Gig of RAM. That card is great, but I am not a fan of the board maker (Sparkle) they are kind of off brand. they are like the "Sam's Club" of GPU boards, or the "Kirkland Signature" if you know what I mean. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814150276 <-- try that, it's $20 more, but it is a much better GPU. as for the RAM, this is very inexpensive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820134216
ok thank you but idk if i could do the ram if I'm not mistaken the motherboard i have only has two slots so i would need to get 4 gigs (two 2 gig) rams to get that witch ain't a big deal really and yea the card you showed me does look to be in better quality
Yes your Config Works fine As a matter of fact since you have only 2 slots and your System is a 32 Bit... Plug this Sucka in http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820134632 You will have 2048 + 894 = 2942 MB Ram Which is about right since 32 Bits can support up to 3GB Also this will give you a boost in Performance, Gaming, Designing and Overall Vista. Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814150279 get the GT since it has a much better Clock FPS Rate than the GS If you have a budget do tell I can probably find a good price for a new Processor if you need me to ^_^ -Z
