Costs around 1250$

I would opt for maybe a 6800gt or x850 if you can afford it.

no i can't my budget was $1200 but i can skim away with it being 1250...my dad wont pay any more than that

Any way you could come up with difference to get card?If not that's cool.

BTW looks good so far.

Do you really need two DVD burners? You could shave some cash there. Other than that, it looks pretty good.

Well I dont really need it...but I want it jsut so I can do more DVD work quickly cause my dad makes me do alot of family video stuff from events ...o yea..................is it true i can take a 6200 download riva and have it equivalent to 6600? then oc the thing to have = to the 6600gt?

YES

My Hijacked Thread (scroll down)

You can see some of the 3DMark 03 scores of unlocked 6200's. -They're basiclly 6600GT's

Let me know if you go this route- I can make a better guide with pictures than what is out there

trombe can i get more info on this...im definately thinking about it since it would shave off about 100$$

looks good to me and ya snatch that monitor off ebay for $60 or so and ur all set!
i hope ur experience w/amd will be as good as the 1 u have w/intel lol
im thinking about trying venice myself in the future

trombe get on AIM if u can Lets talk about this stuff D:

Step One: Download RivaTuner from http://download.guru3d.com/rivatuner/

Step Two: Download Coolbits from http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=815

Step Three:
Install/ Open Riva Tuner

Step Four: Use Riva Tuner

Click Where the Red Arrow Points:





Click Where the Red Arrow Points:



Click Again where the Red Arrow points:



Click where the red Arrow(S) point:



Now Double click on the Red Circled numbers (will be zeros for you) to change them into "1"s. You shlould see bits 20 - 23 get little check marks to appear.




Now press OK for everything and you should probably restart before procceding.

A lot of this comes from suggestions off this forum, thanks everyone!

When (If) I can get on AIM I'll look for you.

The 6200 does come in PCIe but costs a lot more (at least from this site).

PM each other instead of requesting him to im you. Another thing, a 6600gt is a perfectly acceptable card and it is pretty decent. I have a question though, whats with the 3 different fans?

-1cem4n

yeah, i would just go with one.

but on my system i only have a dvd-rom because i havent burned anything to a cd on my computer probably in the past 2years. i use my step mom's computer for burning stuff because i only install what is needed of my computer and nothing more.
