So school just started and I have been longing for a new directx10 compatible computer system for a while. I am thinking of buying the parts in sets. Here's a tentative three part combo:
graphics card: MSI NX8600GT-T2D256EZ GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card = $108.99 - $10.00 mail in rebate - $98.99 cpu: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor 2.6GHz Socket AM2 Processor Model ADA5200CSBOX+ram: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4 combo = $203.99 - $40.00 mail in rebate = $163.99 Subtotal = $312.98 +Tax, S&H, rebates = $291.22 total So is that a good value? Hopefully I can play UT 3, Crysis, Far Cry 2, and the rest with a core like that. |

Like I told you earlier, I don't have much advice to offer on the parts themselves, but I can say this: if you're ordering from Newegg, find some way to have the parts shipped out of Jersey, if you can. I would've been stuck with about $100 in tax if I didn't have my computer parts shipped to my brother's apartment in New Rochelle, NY, because Newegg has a warehouse in Jersey and so anything shipped in-state is subject to tax.
Just a suggestion. |

Oh yea, I almost forgot about that, thanks. |
