This is what I think it would be a good build for you. Especially the motherboard <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile3.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":D" title=":D"><br /> CPU:<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115014" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115014</a><br /> <br /> RAM:<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098</a><br /> <br /> Mobo:<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128048" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128048</a> --&gt; This motherboard has support for DDR3 Memory when it becomes cheaper. So I think it's a worthy future proof upgrade.<br /> <br /> Video Card:<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102034" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102034</a> --&gt;Good video card till DX10 Games are at their best. <br /> <br /> If you want a good DX10 video card you should also upgrade your <b>PSU.</b><br /> <br /> The sum comes up to 464.96. You might want to make some research on eveyr part to make sure they fit in your case, are compatible etc.<br /> <br /> Good luck! ^-^<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> text/html 2007-10-02T23:21:16-05:00 MrBungle http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68919/?l=1#512624 Well...<br /> <br /> Motherboard:<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131142" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131142</a><br /> RAM:<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145034" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145034</a><br /> Processor:<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819115014" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819115014</a><br /> Video Card:<br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814130084" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814130084</a><br /> <br /> that would upgrade you to a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of cas4 800MHz DDR2, an SLI ready motherboard, and a 256MB 8600GTS video card... I'm not sure you can do too much better than that for $510. text/html 2007-10-02T23:08:36-05:00 Nico Binford http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68919/?l=1#512621 My psu is 450watts. My budget is $500 text/html 2007-10-02T21:20:46-05:00 MrBungle http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68919/?l=1#512612 what kind of budget are we working with here? how many watt power supply do you have? text/html 2007-10-02T21:18:05-05:00 Nico Binford http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/68919/?l=1#0 My computer is pure crap right now (integrated graphics) and it cannot play any games. Can you guys reccomend some parts? I already have a monitor, chassis, psu, optical drives, and hard drive. I need a motherboard, processor, ram, and gpu. I am just a casual gamer. I don't mind playing games on medium or low settings as long as they play well. The only really new game I play is Oblivion. Again, can you reccomend some parts that would fit my needs?
