Is my PC good enough!?????

[miral78uk]

Ok without looking at my order sheet.

480watt (LED Glowing!!!) therm... PSU
P4P(standard) asus M/b
PC3200 1024MB Ram (2slots left!)
6800 Ultra (When it comes!) currently 5600fx
120GB HD on Scsi
cdrw(cd romdvd) and dvdrw (dvd cdrom)

sh** 25ms response flat screen. 15"

ok is there arything wrong with this set up apart from getting a quicker response time moniter??? example for games upcomming like Doom 3 Half life 2 etc etc?


YES/NO will do!!

[steve threlfall]

Yes its very nice but the monitor needs sorting. You will be wanting to enjoy doom 3 at 1600x1200 with effects of full which with that monitor isnt possible

Buy a decent 21 inch CRT! No point having a Ninja rig if you have to look at it via a sh1te display, is there? :-)

You won't get very far without a CPU

[dozer]

i agree the cpu (or lack of) is definitely holding your rig back

[miral78uk]

thanks guys i know my old man said he'd get me a moniter for my birthday troulbe is its like 8 months till bday. And a crt takes up 2 much room. so im thinkin 17" Lcd im looking around now i think ill buy it myself! Keep looking here if thats ok wid u ill post some specs

[directhex]

that screen is fine, in my opinion. my 30msec screen is _FINE_ for _ALL_ types of game.

Maybe a heatsink will be required to drop the invisible temps on the imaginary CPU

i have a well trained dwarf with a note pad and a calculator in my rig, seems to do the job but tends to slow down a bit when i dont feed him, objects to having a heatsink and fan attached to his head too, little bastard

[joely]

[miral78uk]

oops forgot that cpu 3.0GHZ intel!!! very funny u guys!

If anyone wants 2 know i just spoke to Gainward and if u order 6800 Ultra now (6015 version) its 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 weeks delivery.

PNY say late August.

Its not generic monkey RAM is it? All generic RAM is evil stuff.

Apart from that, its sound as a dollar pound.

[miral78uk]

not to sure as im at work prob is generic.

[joely]

yuk horrible stuff then, might as well just stick an abacus in your pc!
you can get 6800's quicker than that, pc world component thingy has them in now

[Ashen]

DO: Buy name brand memory!
DO: Remember that motherboards need processors too!
DO: Get a CRT and love yourself 3 years later when your screen isn't washed out and faded because you didn't buy an LCD!

And DO enjoy that 6800 ultra! Gainward make great products.
