How Does This Look..

-AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
-MSI RS480M2-IL Motherboard
(It has really good integrated graphics. It can handle games like CS:S and HL2 on medium setings. Then when you save up some more money, you can add a PCI Express card because it has the slot.)
-
Antec Sonata 2.0 with 450W Antec SmartPower 2.0
-512MB DDR400 Crucial Ballistix Get two of these for $116. Great price.
-Seagate 120GB Hard Drive $40 After Rebate

This was said to me from someone from another forum. It only costs about 700 dollars so if I can upgrade sumthin a bit then let me know which I can/should..

Btw I dont want that case..100USD for that isnt too great..if you can find me another thats good and cheaper then u'll get 5 creds

 

this site has all kinds of cases http://xoxide.com/

 

Allright thanks..I found 6 pretty nice ones there..

IT IS TWICE AS FAST AS SINGLE CHANNEL. That means everything you do will be caried out twice as fast. other than that it looks fine. you should be able to find one gig (2*512) of Dual channel ram for between 90-120$ if you shell out for the 120$ you should be abel to get something with better timings and overclockability.

 

is this RAM good?

sry but the ram is all i didnt look into a lot when he gave me those specs

 

looks decent, but try to look for somehing with somewhat better timings, you can overclock a lot better if you get good RAM, ram is normally what impedes CPU overclocking because OCing is done on both simultaneously.

 

Ok I'll look more tomorrow..dont got time now..thanks for the help..talk to ya later on zelink

 

Just follow what everyone had to say. 1Gb of memory is good. Also, xoxide.com is a good place to look for cases & moding accessories. You should check out their forum & get some ideas in their case showoff section.

 

try this, it looks like it has good timings for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820145449

a bit more expensive but you will be able to overclock your Proc/memory a lot more.

 

Don't use integrated video, thats just stupid.

 

yeah the intergrated video is only a x300SE and that will not run hl2 or CS very well.

 

a x300 will run cs 1.6 very nicely 100 fps solid


and around 60-80 im guessing for CS:S if u run cs:s in Dx7

then again i know everything cs

 

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

no

 

someone doesnt know anything about launch options or video cards

...

 

thats where i bout my pwnage case from, that site pwns. but if you wanna look for cases id suggest xoxide or newegg, newegg has everything gg.
