Holy shit, the Newegg one has 8 gigs of RAM!


They look good except for
1) Vista 64 has many problems and incompatibilities
2) They both have integrated graphics. (No independent card)

If I had to choose, I'd pick the one on Newegg. $760 for that isn't too bad.

not sure how good you are at computers, but it would be better to buy the parts and put it together yourself.  Otherwise I would lean towards the Newegg one as well.

As for Vista having issues, I have had no issues with gaming on it at all.

radeon sucks ass.  I have always had issues with their drivers and software.

It's probably decent but it is a couple generations behind..I would suggest upgrading the vid card for sure and go with Nvidia. Even though your brother built your other rig I'm sure you can upgrade the vid card without any problems, especially with our help  :-D

Shmotz,  give me a price and I will find you a good card.
Title: Re: help
Post by: Hitman Smurf on November 07, 2008, 02:19:32 PM
Out of those the 9800 1gb is the best...I dont see how it's that cheap though LOL whats your budget? Like Video said, if we know what you want to spend we can find you the best bang for the buck.

Here ya go.  This is $90 after the rebate.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130330 

It is already overclocked and everything and the 9600 is a good card.  Plus it is EVGA so it has the great warranty.

Title: Re: help
Post by: Shmotz on November 08, 2008, 02:11:02 PM
so video, will that geforce be compatible with what i got?
Title: Re: help
Post by: Video_Master on November 08, 2008, 03:29:23 PM
Most definately!!!  You will love the setup man.  You will just have to go into the BIOS of the machine and disable the built in Video Card once you are to that point to install the new card in the system.  We can help you with that no problem.  Can't wait to play some COD with you on the new machine.

I'm available to help if you need it. Done it a million times too..304 532 3594

I was wondering if the psu will have an extra molex plug for the vid card and if it is the right kind of plug (8 pin I think)... Most cards will come with an adapter, so dont lose it!

Since the computer is an early Christmas gift for the both of you World at War can be an early Christmas gift for you ;) That might work.
