This may be the wrong place to post this but I wanted to build the computer around the video card. Ok my Fiancée has an older rig, she is addicted to UT2K4 and F.E.A.R. She plays online under the name FieroChick.
Her rig was top notch about oh gasp 3 years ago. AMD Barton 2500 OC to 3200 spec. Asus A7N8X board and a Ti4600 with 512mb of DDR ram.
We went out and picked up a 300gig 16mb drive, 7800GS OC another 512mb of DDR and a 22" Wide Screen LCD. We decided that the house is going to make one last AGP cycle. (we have 4 gaming rigs and 6 workstations at the house)
We built her rig so long ago I can't even remember what the socket was "socket 7 maybe" I know or at least I am pretty positive it is NOT a 939 and that kinda leaves her out in the cold for serious power upgrades.
So what do you guys think is the best route to take. I am going to build a C2D rig, but that will be my baby. We are both itching to see what UT2K7 turns out out be. (praying for AI of Fear and super graphics. but the more battle style of UT)
P.S. anyone know of any games that are NFSU2 meets UT2K4. Racing and shooting each other, upgrading vehicles.
