hi all

try to customise and buy a pc, got some problems....

CPU: Intel Pentium 4 630, 3.0GHz 2MB Cache 800Mhz LGA775

with 256Mb GeForce 6600 PCI-Express16 VGA Card

1.can someone suggest me a nice compatible motherboard (under £70 inc. vat)

2.this graphic card will cost me (£60inc. vat)but i am not sure if it is a good one for the price i pay

my pc mainly use for photoediting, gaming and movie watching

the card is a normal 6600 not a GT and i have heard that with this card the 256mb version is not woth the money over the 128mb version as the chip isnt fast enough to use the extra memory so its a bit of a waste of money, but i may be wrong so look for some comparative benchmarks, i could not find anymyself. But either way it should give you playable frame rates on most new games

6600 for gaming?! hah!.... ehehe.. tbh, any game today will eat that 6600 for breakfast.. that extra 128MB would just serve as extra maple syrup on that juicy 6600 pancake..

get a 6600GT.. or X800GTO to be safe-ish..

looking at benchmarks things will run, with low detail and everything else off, but you can play it
