hey... i just need sum input... im going to be buying a gaming computer soon here r da specs...
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ HyperTransport Technology / 1GB DDR / 160GB SATA / nVidia GeForce 6800GT 256MB 8X AGP /Gigabyte's K8Npro nForce3 MOBO/500watt power supply/overclocking fan control center includes 3 fans. ALL FOR GRAND TOTAL= 1,934.04 USD
here r my qwestions 1)Do you think it worth that much, is it a good price? 2)will it be able to handel hard core gaming..such as bf2 halo cs...ect 3)are the system specs good, any thing to add? or change
comments: im not shure about the Mobo its not "sli" just to add that.
Did you put this together or is it premade? If the latter you should just get the individual components and put it together yourself, for a much lesser price at that.
Also, as far as AMD goes go with either the Venice or San Diego cores. Do they make 3400's in the latest cores? I'm not sure, but I would guess no. Either go with the 3500 venice, or 3700 san diego (I got this one, it's nice). Don't go with an agp video card either because now the latest thing is PCI Express so it's better to go with that instead.
From the looks of it, what you selected looks too pricy for what it is.

Its not worth that much, if you dont want to save loads of $$$ and build it yourself then wait for one of these guys to give you a half decent cheap website.
Also it could also be socket 754 which isnt the newest. You want socket 939.

I'm trying to save him some money k? With premade systems you pay a TREMENDOUS amount of money just on the brand name, and for a good gaming system for what he wants could cost hundreds of dollars more than what he could spend if he made it himself. Think of it this way: he spends 1200 on a better gaming system than what he could have gotten for 2000, and he could use that 800 he saved on something like a xbox360 or an ipod, or maybe a car, whatever.
